TL:DR - Social circle/college gaming. Attract both target and her friend. What effect does closing one have on the other? How to use friend's attraction to close target?


So twice this year I've found myself in similar situations. The first was during the summer, where two young girls (an 8 and a 7, for reference) were into me. I would flirt with both quite heavily in person, but the 8 especially was flirting with everyone. When she did that, I would give attention to the 7, and often seemed like I was playing one against the other until I eventually closed the 8. I figure being attractive to both girls in this "best friends" situation is good, as it shows pre-selection plus competition, as long as I don't try to break up their friendship. Both knew what was going on with each other, as female friends go they talked about everything. I think I handled it pretty well, and am still good friends with both - benefits with the 8. However, I still maintained ability to close the 7 if I wanted to - I put this to the test, and a couple weeks ago she stayed at my place. I kino'd her and brought it to the point where she was basically begging me to close, but I didn't. Just thought it was interesting.

Now my current situation, is a bit different but similar. My ex (a HB9, imo) and her new roommate (HB7). Summing up other topics, my ex broke up with me months ago, came back to school, we fucked, had a fight, and are currently "just friends" although I'd say I'm interested in gaming her / getting her back for sure. Now standard rules apply - don't need any lectures on "getting ex back" crap - but in this case her roommate is also definitely attracted to me as well. Now I've joked about it, but my ex just says "don't fuck my roommate. stay away from her" but I know a thing or two about jealousy ploys. Now the roommate is up to my standards so far, but obviously I like my ex more and would rather have her. I think it's possible to manipulate this factor to get my ex to chase me again. However... I think any actual closing on the roommate will just as likely get my ex to fuck my friends instead of me. A delicate situation, for sure.

I feel like if you close the beta female (it's usually clear who) in the group, then the higher quality ones will write you off or put you in the friend zone. But if you can close with the most attractive female of the group, then you become more desired by the beta females.

I've been thinking of hanging out with the roommate, and keeping things fun/sexual like I normally do with women, but avoid actual closing and rather let my ex imagine that we are doing more than that. The roommate and I already have a "this is so wrong" factor going, and you know how much that can help. I have a little experience from my previous situation, but this is obviously a bit different as the target is my ex girlfriend. In the original, neither girl cared who "got me".
