Well I really fucked up is the thing. Because I've been her friend for a year and haven't escalated anything (I know my fault), now I am trying to get a little more cheeky with her to see how she responds. Last night she actually met my parents. We all went for a dinner and concert. As we left the restaurant she got her bottle of lipstick out...she rarely puts lipstick on so I negged her a bit. She laughed and said, "what you want some?" and proceeded to hand me the bottle. I told her I didn't want it out of the bottle and smiled. She said "Down boy, your mom is right here". After the concert we walked back to the car. She was in heals, so I gave her my arm and we walked together for about 20mins before we went to the car. I guess the bottom line is at some point very soon I just need to come out with it. I'm just not entirely sure how to do this given that I've dug myself such a deep "friendship zone" hole.

Anyway...this is just a little background. I have just started reading this PUA forums in february. I never had any skills before. I still managed to get dates because I'm a likable guy, but not as many as since reading this stuff. I still have a problem escalating physical attraction, so that's where I'm at right now.

I dont' think she is dating any of these guys she hangs out with, in fact I'm fairly sure she isn't. But I suppose I just needed to ask on here to find out why a girl would have so many guy friends. This last comment about her father figure not being strong...that pretty much hits the nail on the head I think. She rarely talks about or visits her biological father and never lived with him much. Most of these guys she hangs out with are quite a bit older. She told me the first serious relationship she had was with a guy that was 31 when she was 19. She's a bit of an odd ball.
