First date is with a woman + 2 people (not a "double" date) Any tips on protocol?

I've never really done this before. I asked a girl out (who I strongly feel likes me) to a soccer match, and she asked if her friend could come too. I, on the other hand, invited a buddy of mine to join us (I met them together at an event recently, so it's not really out of the blue for her to ask that).

 

My question is: Is there any protocol that I should know about? It seems kind of impossible to make a move on a girl with our friends basically right there. The whole situation is very new to me.

you asked a girl out to a soccer match, she invited her friend and you invited your bud, plus you like her.............ummm.........alright, this can go either two ways, you either casually flirt with her so she gets the hint at the soccer match, or she is not interested because if she was, she would not bring someone else along, if this goes successfully and she does have feelings for you, then take her out on a real date, take her to a nice place, be with her alone, get to know her and vice versa, I have no idea why you're doing what looks like a group date, they are not the best bet man, stick with one on one, if she is not interested, then move on, plenty of single women in the world.
