Need some advice fellas. I can't believe I'm back here almost a year later over the very same girl.
Quick backstory (longer story can be found here), been good friends with a girl for a long time, and there's definitely a mutual attraction going on. I've asked her out, got denied, and realized I really didn't want to / couldn't handle being "just friends" with her, so stopped talked to her completely. This went on for about 9 months, until I got a random IM from her. We had a good conversation, and anytime she tried to flirt I'd either ignore it or change the topic. The thing is, she has contacted me multiple times now (I haven't initiated it at all), wanting to talk / asking when I'm going to be in the area. She's invited me to go out with her even. Problem is, her friends will be there, which is strange to begin with....girl's night out + me?
I guess what I'm asking is, I know this girl likes attention and is a flirt, but why contact the guy who asked her out and she said no to after all this time? My friends tell me there's no chance here (I agree), but I'm curious what GAF thinks. I'm just not entirely sure how to proceed with a girl who has said she's not interested in dating, and 9 months later comes back to me as if nothing at all has happened.
Go out and bring your own friends. When you see her, look happy to see her, then be bold and hit on her friends. Either she'll get jealous, de-friendzone you and sleep with you or you'll sleep with her friends. You win both ways.
