Okay I'm not completely sure if mid-game is the right section for this but I didn't know where else to put it. The situation is as follows:

I have a female friend who I fell into the friend zone with quite a while before I discovered game. At first I thought this would be bad, but she has quite a few attractive friends, so it turned out to not be such a bad thing. One of these friends said to her that she thinks I'm hot and didn't care if my friend told me or not, and she knows that I think she is. My friend is going to bring her along next time I have people over for a social gathering, so here's the question: How do I game a girl when she finds me attractive, I find her attractive and we both know that?

Obviously it should be pretty easy sailing from here, but I'm not sure where to start when I first meet her because I haven't actually spoken to her before. Should I just skip the attraction building phase and go into building comfort & rapport while kino escalating? Thanks in advance, and I hope I explained the situation clearly enough

Honestly bro when i saw this post it screamed AFC to me, but i wanted to help. What you need to do is don't give all your attentions to her, girls don't like that its cat string theory make her get your approval don't give it, it will show DHV (Demonstration of Higher Value) on your part making you take control of the substitution too geting her number by the end of the night.

I haven't given her any attention - I haven't even spoken to her despite her knowing that I know she thinks I'm hot. I don't think a number close will be too hard and I'd planned on getting that at the very least. I know about cat string theory and DHV, but what I mean is, do I really need to spend time trying to build attraction through DHV or should I just try to build rapport and escalate since it's already been established that she's attracted to me?

Yeah make the next move to building rapport and escalating! You got it dude, your on the right path already!

Skip Rapport skip talking skip all that crap. your only going to fuck shit up. if she already likes you go with lots of eye contact and isolate as soon as possible then jump head first into escalation throw her against a wall or something. go big and close or go home with your dick in your hand.

This all applies if you are of age to be doing such things if not take it slow kid.
