Smart idea or did I fail on setting up something good?

Hi,

First off I do have Abundance mentality and I approach girls easier every day but I want to troubleshoot a strange situation which I think I might fix on this way..
A girl who was really showing off a lot of signals/reactions and results (while I maintained the Law of least effort) sended me a couple of smses: Asking me if I could help her with her English. Now I know that saying no would have done a lot of good, making yourself more powerful etc but I also thought of a second thing.. Which was:

1) She showed a lot of reactions and signals, and the results were very good she even came sit next to me only by looking in her eyes.
2) As she is one of the few girls in my class plus the most beautiful girl of the class, her demands are very high. I stayed out of this mostly, waited till she added me on Facebook (by adding the people of my class she recently added), then said hi once to her and my friend said loudly enough 'let's sit there" (just next to her) which made me deep dive her, and catching her number quiet quickly.
3) This is a perfect occasion to get this girl in my apartment, and to "study" and maybe study later.

But.. Yeah, I sacrificed a bit of my power to have make this happen, although I think it was a good choice, I would like that you guys give me your opinion about it.
Should I have said no, seen what would happen while my power grows slightly every time but could have missed an escalation window?
Or should I have said yes as I did, having sacrificed a bit of my power to make it possible to be alone with her so I can try to make it happen?

Maybe she asked me to help her and this was part of her plan, maybe she wanted to make it easier for me so said "Could you help me?" knowing I wouldn't help.
Anyways if I can't make it happen, I could just stop helping her and continue pressuring her (and others) with power and whatever happens, the law of least effort will remain used by all means.

Hey zqw 10k,

I am working on a post for the boards that deals with this question in a broader sense. I'm hoping my draft will be ready tomorrow. Though it will probably frame the question, rather than offering any answer directly, I want to get a conversation going on the very important subject of getting results by "sacrificing a bit of power", as you put it, so will cross-link the posts in both directions.

This issue is now under active discussion here:

Maintaining power-derived value through the opening

We even have commentary from Chase! Why don't you head over and take a look?

PS... (to anyone reading this) I love the way that Chase periodically descends upon the Boards like Santa Claus, sprinkling good cheer selectively among the readership ;)
