It's of course the power of the social circle. That's with EVERYTHING. Microcosm Attraction Theory (It's in my member journal.)
She either needs to play harder or make a move and deal with the consequences (the other girls will retaliate and the guy could deny her.)
I'm betting the other two girls are actively giving hints as well. Actively pursuing him. Your friend needs to make HIM come to her. Give a hint of cruel disinterest with a smile. Make HIM come to HER. That's how she's going to stand out and win.
LATER EDIT: of course, I always say NO to gaming people you work with. It's silly and not work it. Always has a bad outcome in the end.
Is your friend really into this guy, or is it more of the fact she wants to win? I always want to win, but I've learned to curtail that drive within myself (to beat the other girls out of a chance with a guy... not even interested in the guy.)
My friend is really into this guy. She's not the competitive type and was really the first girl to be into him. She's just freaking out about one girl who likes him.
And this is the thing too. He's OBLIVIOUS! He never flirts with anyone and will never give the slightest impression that he's into her or anyone in particular. She sometimes feels dumb for even trying.
I wonder about her. She's not ugly at all and with the body that she has, you would think that she would maybe be stuck-up but that's not the case. She has super low-self esteem and she doesn't think highly of herself. As a girl, Zip, can you maybe help me figure out as to why she's that way?
I don't think she's thought highly of herself ever since her and her boyfriend broke up like around Jan 07. She dated him when she was 15 and he was like 24 and they dated for about 4 years I think. The reason why they broke up was because he couldn't really see a future with her for another 3 years. She got really upset and thought it wasn't worth having a relationship.
But they have been sleeping together on and off and I know wants to move on but can't. I think she's kissed other guys but nothing that lead to sex. I always thought women were better at coping with difficult situations than men but it's been so long since she's been in this state. I hate to see a girl like her not fulfill her potential in showing off her personality as well as her sex appeal. She's got this IT factor and yet she doesn't even know it.
As far as her self-esteem goes... it doesn't matter how she looks. It's all inner core shit. I can't really knock it because I don't know enough about her.
As far as breaking up with a guy... it usually takes about half the amount of time they were together for her to be COMPLETELY over it. I mean COMPLETELY. 4 years? 2 years until she's not even thinking about him anymore. That rule can be ridiculously wrong for a super-powered self-esteem monster of a girl, but your friend needs more time (it sounds like.)
Look, what she needs to do if the guys is TRULY oblivious to the situation is to do what Sinn said his friend does.... logistics. Figure out how the guy ends up alone with her at the right time. Then, she direct games him without freaking him out. She needs to set everything up so that it's absolutely primal that he kisses her.
I mean, if everyone's hanging out, she figures out some way that it makes sense that he's alone with her, or back at her house. Girls are good at this stuff. She'll figure it out. Then, she sets the mood without being slutty. She demonstrates that she is a worthy candidate, possibly shows a bit of what she likes about herself (physically and mentally) off. She lets her hair down, or lets her dress fall off her shoulder (and she pulls it back up slowly and nonchalantly.)
She makes some pithy statement, she looks at the stars, she locks eyes with him for a moment, then breaks, then looks back.... basically, she makes it seem like his idea to break the friendship and go for something more.
