So, I've been studying PU pretty heavily for some time now, and I figure it's time to put some of it to the test. So here's the scenario: I've got a good friend, who I've known for a few years now. She's smoking hot, and most guys are pretty intimidated by her. I know I'm in comfort zone with her, but there's just enough tension I think that I can get her in bed. I know it sounds sleazy, but she's not interested in a relationship so I"m not playing her or anything.

Anyway, the reason I think I might have a shot is a few weeks ago I jokingly brought up us having sex and instead of blowing it off she laughed and said "yeah, like you'd have the guts too". Any thoughts on that? Is that suggestion for an opening by any stretch?

So assuming there is even the slightest opening, how do you guy suggest I proceed considering the fact that we're such good friends? Is it worth attempting, or is it hopeless?

YES. Go for it!
This is her way of saying, "You won't!"

Thanks for the reply! Made me feel a lot more sure. Any tips on gaming a friend?

She knows you're interested, or, at the very least, not not interested. By daring you to take action, in a sense, she's giving you an invitation into her pants. Still, you have to proceed with caution. Trust me.

I'd go out with her a few times, as friends. Dance with her, as friends. Touch her, but in a friendly way; not in a creepy or perverted way. Take note of her response, and act accordingly. If she likes it, escalate it a little bit, and if she doesn't, tone it down.

Basically, you should show her that you DO have the guts to do "it." You should emit confidence and sexual energy WITHOUT being blunt or coming on too strong. Build a foundation of sexual tension, and add to it gradually. That way, if for whatever reason she gets cold feet, you'll be able to continue the friendship with minimal awkwardness.

Awesome, that's exactly the kind of response I was hoping for. I will try my best. I've been reading a lot of 60 years of challenge lately - would you suggest I use the methods he outlined for increasing tension (only a more gradual, more subtle way)? Seems like 60's methods are specifically geared towards strangers in a club and building tension quickly and rapidly... I don't know if it's properly suited to something like this.

Thanks a lot for your help!

This girl is totally different from a stranger you'd meet in a club. Any sudden personality changes on your part are going to cause concern on her part. I'd definitely do it gradually, and play it by ear.
