Ok so a bit of background, first off I have only started reading up on PUA the last couple of weeks...

I am from the UK and new to an area, one of the first things I did was to get online and attempt to meet some people, the place is small so figured it wasn't a bad idea to try meet a few girls and get a foothold in some friendship groups for going out.

I am looking for some advice on how to still display higher value when it is apparent I am new to an area and do not know too many people? I feel I could spin it from an angle of I am looking to meet people but in a way so a girl has to prove her worthiness?

I do pretty well with the online stuff and met a girl straight away on there, I am 22 with a good job and a university degree behind me, my own car etc. etc. so as these things become apparent during conversation I feel most girls I have talked too find me an interesting/attractive prospect (I make them work to find out these things and do it in a non bragging manner, obviously putting that on a profile has the total opposite effect).

The first girl I met online is nothing special but I have been spending time with her for a few weeks, she is quite average looking but very fashionable and popular so these things made her a decent prospect to start hooking up with. She has a large friendship group and some of them are far better looking, I have been clear from day one I don't want a relationship so we agreed to have fun and see what happen. The problem is I think she likes me a little more than she lets on (I am considering how to friend zone her but still get sex?) and I am thinking of trying to turn this into an opener if we are ever out together in town?

So a brief background to my example, we were staying at her friends last week (her friend had a lousy date coming over, was perfect for me to get both of them on my side and freeze him out). Both of them ended up staying in my bed and I didn't really know what to do so I isolated the girl I already knew in the morning and managed an f close in the shower (Was her friend giving me a huge IOI staying in my bed or was she avoiding the shit date?) (how far would you have pushed this to get both? I don't know enough about their history)

Turns out I have the chance to go out with her friend tonight (she is more attractive but has less standing socially) and the girl I originally know is currently unsure if she is coming out. If she does come out, how do you go about building rapport with her friend whilst keeping her onside and how do you feel about turning the situation into an opener?

I.e approaching a set and saying you need a little advice with a situation... you are here with some friends and you think one of them has the wrong idea about your intentions and you want to make it clear your just friends. How can you do it without hurting her? Figured responses will range from gentle put downs to "get with somebody else", the latter being a huge IOI? I feel by making it clear you only have a few minutes to chat this could be a good opener? Potential number closer by saying you would like her number incase you need advice in future (obviously done tongue in cheek if she has displayed interest)? Also the potential to re-approach later on then too?

Anyway, post anything that you think will help. Also any basic stuff to help with AA, especially to move things forward if the initial approach works!
