Went out one night 2 weeks ago. Was chatting to a girl I am friends with/training partner (Hb8) in the smoking area. Her friend, HB8.5 was there but I didnt even intro, what was I thinking? Outside of the club, both us after a few tequilas, she came over and told me her friend Hb8.5, who had left, thought I was hot. Next day she tells me the same thing.

On saturday she gives me Hb8.5's number but told me she wouldn't be going out that night. I text HB8.5 later that day, just asking whether she was going out. No reply until 11 that night saying 'only got out of work and couldnt come out , where you at?' I replied 'No worries, out at *****. I'll get talking to ya during the week '

I havent actually spoken to this girl and she wants me, kind of strange for me usually have to do some groundwork. Its St.Patricks weekend so she should be out at some stage. What should I do next?

You should wait until the next time you see this mutual friend (HB8). When you do see HB8, have a good time with her, don't mention HB8.5. After you leave that night, or the next morning, text HB8.5.

Say something like, "Just saw HB8. That girl seriously knows how to drink." She'll reply, then you say, "And we never got around to getting a drink together! Let's go out on Saturday, [or whatever day] I know the perfect place."

This is the only course of action that makes sense. For you to text her again this week would be to say that you have no other female options and need her to be there for you.
