Long story this I'm afraid. Ahem...

 

So, I'm in a bar with a few friends. We keep making eye contact with a few really hot girls, and eventually one of us gets up the nerve to go over. We all get talking, and, long story short, I end up flirting a lot with one of them while trying to set my friend up with the other until she mentions she has a boyfriend but 'he's a jerk'. I basically tell her then that I'm not interested, because it's not worth the hassle (I seem to remember phrasing it a bit better tho ;) ). I then get talking to her friend, er, let's call her Miss X, and at the end of the night ask her out, and give her my number, since my friend has already given up on her and gone home.

 

Which would have all worked out great, except for the slight problem that I gave her the wrong phone number. So fast forward a week till we run into them in the same place.

 

I go over to them again and get talking to Miss X, but we're not hitting it off fantastically because I'm too drunk to form coherent sentences. That said, she did say I really reminded her of someone she used to have a crush on and that she 'really liked' me. At which point my friend who I was intially trying to set up with her finally decides to make his move. I'd normally have done something about it, but he's a really good friend. So they get talking and I make the (rather stupid) mistake of flirting with her friend again, but she's got back with her boyfriend and isn't that interested.

 

Confused yet?

 

My friend goes home early again, although he's talked to Miss X for a good few hours or so. I ask her friend (the one I've been flirting with) to subtly ask what she thinks and she says Miss X now really likes my friend. I walk them both home and Miss X starts apologizing to me, although I can't figure out if it's cos she's now after my friend or because she feels guilty for flirting with him. Since she's going away for Xmas I won't get to see her for 3 weeks now, but it's been ages since I've been so attracted to a girl. Although by this point it's mostly an alcohol induced blur I do remember her shouting my name after me as I walked away. Never sure if that's a good sign...

 

Now I'm faced with the really difficult decision of whether to call/text her. Assuming my ultimate goal is to screw over my friend and get the girl (lol) do I;

 

1) Text her and say I'm fine if she and my friend wanna pursue things. This has the potential advantage of making her realise she has to choose between us, and also makes me look like a really good friend. It could make it seem I'm a bit spineless for just letting my friend have her, though. This is currently running at #1 in the ideas list.

 

2) Text her and tell her how crazy I am about her. This could work, but I suspect it will backfire horribly. This only works in the movies as far as I know.

 

3) Text her about nothing in particular, in the hope she'll say something to me back.

 

4) Wait 3 weeks, then text her asking if she wants a date when she gets back. But by this time my friend will probably have been calling her a lot over Xmas, and is liable to get very pis*ed off with me.

 

5) Stop being such a loser and go find someone else ;)

 

6) Some other fantastic plan I haven't considered. Which is really why I'm posting...
