Eh, I hope it's not either of their FIRST dates ever with people....

Because if not, then this isn't even something to worry about. And, if your friend didn't see it until now..well, he must have his head in a book or something. I mean, who walks a girl to the bus stop or hangs out in halls and can't tell if someone is flirting with them?

And, also, if neither of you have actually heard from the girl in direct wording, how can you be sure? Because this seemed like a "surprise" for him. Maybe she is bored, lonely, or likes guy friends over girl friends?



Well by the sounds of the OP they're all in college and the guy is a physics major, aka a grade A nerd. So he probably DID have his head buried in a book the entire time while she's all giggly and shit, rofl.

Anyway OP I think the momzoning/siszoning and/or the "can you help me with this chick" line is a great solution.

It's just what I think though, who knows what'll happen with bitches.

Again, I bring up that any relationship with Paula is not a desirable moment for any parties involved.

Update #1: It seems that as the trip as a whole was organized by some larger entity; they met a mutual friend at the park. Hopefully the mutual friend serves as an integrating factor to find the solution.

I don't think he's going to say anything firm given that he has this bit of leeway now.

How do you even know that the girl likes your friend? For all you two know, she could be friendzoning him, you hear about this all the time. Maybe you should get out more.

Since when could men and women be friends? An obvious myth, dude should have known from the git-go. In order to correct said situation, tell him to be a man and speak his mind, otherwise this is going terminal velocity asap.

switch your gameplan, a macro build won't work.

You need to go head first with a micro intensive build after scouting such an opener. I suggest a baneling bust.


I agree, you don't want a macro game here, that will just draw it out too long with potentially devastating results.

An early aggression build would be best. However, I think a baneling bust is too much of a do-or-die attack. You essentially blow your whole load in one dangerous moment.

The method I've used, and would not recommend, in these cases is a cloak banshee attack. I play hard to pin down and hard to catch while harassing them to the point of a frustration gg. Again, I would not suggest this method because the opponent is typically unhappy and confused afterwards.

Instead, I would suggest something more direct and brute force like a 4 gate. Simple, strait-forward. Its not as much about hiding your tech as it is about just hammering them with the truth quickly, and moving forwards from there.

Update 2:
Well, as I mentioned earlier, physics master indeed found another group of friends, but this was not an asymptotically stable solution. The other group immediately assumed that he and Paula were a couple, and proceeded to act as a group of onlookers (taking several pictures of them). The rest of the day became exponentially more uncomfortable and awkward and I really don't understand why he didn't just say WE'RE NOT A COUPLE.

The future really looks grim at this point.

Sounds like he might as well take his chances and /0 at this point. At worst, the universe implodes; at best, he will be free of this burden with infinite new possibilities before him.

This system is becoming increasingly non-linear and chaos is certain to result. I strongly recommend physics master approach his maximum delta v in an attempt to turn around, or prepare for a rough landing in the maw of hell.

Now he's just letting himself walk right into it.

Think he deserves his fate at this point.

In theory, nothing could be more straightforward: he should tell her the truth ASAP. In practice, this is like the toughest Gordian Knot in the history of mankind. There's no way to untie it- u gotta cut it. Being honest in this situation is super tough. The problem is he "doesn't want to be a bad guy" and essentially what it boils down to is he wants to do it in a way that doesn't hurt her feelings. Well the thing is he doesn't get to choose whether her feelings are hurt or not. There's absolutely no way to prevent someone from taking rejection negatively. You can only be honest right off the bat and see what the girl prefers to do about it. Or he can start acting like a loser until she stops being interested. Like maybe he pees his pants and starts crying and sucking his thumb on the "date." If he really wants to be a good guy that's going to be positively saintly! But most guys would rather the girl stops bothering him while remaining interested so he feels good about himself

Another support for this idea here.

Alternatively, he could just go full honesty and tell Paula that 1) he likes hanging out with her but 2) he is not looking for a serious relationship with her because 3) he simply doesn't feel anything more than friendship.
