I arrived at the traditional party in law school and took a moment to look around, feel the vibe, see who was there and soon I started moving, greeting people I know, both women and men, setting a social tone early instead of staying static.

Then, I found my female friend BD with her other friends, opening warmly, naturally, like we already have history (which we do, more than a year and a half of tension there) and we quickly synced into a light playful vibe.

Later on, we danced together and she stayed engaged, following, comfortable enough to be there with me and during a game I kept it loose, playful, joking about losing, not caring about outcome, just enjoying the moment and I won.

At some point I suggested indirectly that we should walk around, which she agreed and we moved away from the main crowd, isolating without making it a big deal.

While walking I introduced kino gradually, guiding her, hand on her lower back at times, calibrating as we moved and I could feel her usual nervous energy, that slight twitch she almost always has around me, like she’s not fully relaxed but also not pulling away.
When that happened I didn’t push, I softened, reassured her, told her not to worry, kept things lighter instead of increasing pressure.

At a more isolated moment I cheek kissed her and we embraced (since she doesn’t like kissing in public) and gave her a white flower I picked up. As It was full moon, i guided her look to the sky and i said It was a lover's moon, in all its beauty.

Throughout the night I balanced being present with her and not overcommitting, keeping things flowing instead of locking into one frame, and going from not breaking the circle to noticing other people, especially women, around.

I consciously avoided LT, LM and G because of previous perception issues (the ones who had said they would report me) but they were nearby and definitely saw me with B and her pharmacy friends.

At one point my friend M’s girlfriend C asked about me and her AND I said we’re just friends, keeping ambiguity, not putting pressure on the situation in public.

Later I went to the dorms with my dormmates (they arrived late there) and they had already seen me with her and gave positive feedback, which reinforced the social proof of the night, only saying i should have pushed to sex.

Looking back, there was controlled progression, not forced and compared to before I was more calibrated, especially when she showed signs of insecurity.

Still, I can see that sometimes I lead physically a bit too much and she’s not fully comfortable yet, so the dynamic is still in that space between tension and hesitation.

Overall it was a strong night socially and a step forward with her and with how people see me (I was a bit depressed and paranoid about that reporting stuff, but feel better now).

Separate from the seduction, this seems like an excellent outcome. Chase calls preselection the universal reset button. It's like the last thing that can save you with a girl.

So the fact that those girls saw you with her responding well to you beyond a purely social level (and without seeing any escalation or things to typecast you as a player, etc) may have been a boon to the whole situation.

I agree @Francis, but they (especially LT) don't seem worth the effort now, as i even developed oneitis for her.

About BD, she wrote to me earlier today:

"Thank you for the flower, I like you very much. You are a very dear friend."

She's been nexted tô (or put herself into) a female friend role in my life now.

Probably good not to put much effort in with her after the whole situation, but I wouldn't be surprised if you find her more receptive if you run into her alone. Watch for escalation windows! You weren't there chasing LT, so too-high attainability went down, and your value went up from LT seeing you with BD.

Sounds like there was attraction obvious to you for a while. The night was very good. It reads like you missed an escalation window with BD.
At one point my friend M’s girlfriend C asked about me and her AND I said we’re just friends, keeping ambiguity, not putting pressure on the situation in public.
Could this have gotten back to BD from C?

Maybe her text was a shit test. "I like you very much" does not sound like her friendzoning you if you said she exhibited clear attraction from the tension and feeling between you two.

Maybe she wanted you to challenge that frame and not friendzone yourself. Especially with more romantic types, they are hesitant to be vulnerable first. Instead they will do things like put on certain songs in the car together to hint things through the lyrics.
Later I went to the dorms with my dormmates (they arrived late there) and they had already seen me with her and gave positive feedback, which reinforced the social proof of the night, only saying i should have pushed to sex.
Not pushed lol but yes maybe sex could have happened with a lot of discretion.

The thing is you had her in a situation where LT, C, and your buddies all knew something was brewing between you and BD.

Here I think you could read @Skills on "second gen" and become the secret lover. Plus reconsider the points about not shitting where you eat from him and @Levo (who has lived in your country btw). I think it would be a real shame to pass up your campus environment, but there is a difference between girls in other faculties and those who are at these same events being seen by your friends and each other.

@Francis thanks for the advice! About campus game, i'll integrate more Into the party scene too, it seems that going to a few more parties is fundamental to be perceived as more laid back (I only go to a couple per Semester)

sounds like a good idea! probably better for physical escalation as well. just don't neglect those bus stops!

It strikes me that the pace with BD seems totally appropriate for a long-term relationship. "Very dear friend" is NOT some sort of retreat from that. It's very publicly visible to people in your program. So you might want to decide quickly what you want from it.

The whole thing was pretty romantic. Romance (the way you did it) is for wives and long-term girlfriends. She hasn't earned that yet.

Anyways, jealousy is your best friend in these cases.

Start inviting all of these women that are in various stages with you to the same party, the same night. Send a mass invite. Have some of your friends there, too. Tell the girls you invite to bring their friends along.

Do some low key flirting with a lot of them. Let all the others see it. Don't be romantic. If you're talking to one of them and it's going well don't attach like a boa constrictor... smile at her... thank her for coming and then say, "Hey, Janet just got here. Please excuse me, I'm going to go talk to her."

Towards the end of the night make a round to the ones you want, tell them you're leaving soon and "Text me later."

When they text you invite them over that night. (No fucking flower or heart emojis). "Come see me."
