Theres a girl i might be interested in that just started hanging out with my group of friends in the last 2 months. the thing is im pretty sure 2 of my other guy friends also have a thing for her. i feel like im in a damn race for this girl or something stupid like that. i dont make myself too available to her and im always making ****y funny comments around her. how can i set myself apart from the other guys? theyre constantly texting her and giving her attention so im pretty sure im doing the right thing so far...
"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
how do i set myself apart from other guys?

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

If you are interested in this girl, make a damn move. Just do it like Nike. You feel like you're in a race, which seems to put you in a bad mindset, making you feel like you'll lose.
Are you interested in these other 2 guys? If not, just talk to the girl fearlessly, like a man, and if you get rejected, you got rejected as a man, not a boy.
Remember that pretty women, and these days, ugly women got lots of options. Making a move is better than waiting for her to come to you. So go for it.

i dont know what is the right thing to do but ill share my experience with you. i use to be in a frat and their was one girl that would hang out at our "house" a lot. she was pretty much interested in me and my frat bro. he was trying really hard, and i have always been the type like bros before hos so i would not try at all. i just kept being myself and let him do his thing( even though i really really liked this girl) so he ended up hooking up with her, he got head a couple times or so and the fact that he gave her more attention in the begining and my lack of, she fell for him. he ended up nexting her and we just kept being cool friends. a year later we hooked up and did a ltr. it was a horrible relationship because i could never get over the fact that my friend hooked up with her.

I suppose by sitting back and playing it cool, you could be setting yourself apart. But I'm betting it's more likely that your more aggressive friends will be getting her attention. If they're engaging her in a sexual way and you're not, she may not even notice you. Usually acting disinterested only works on the very hottest chicks because they're so used to getting hit on by every guy they meet.
If you lay back, it might work, but I'd say it's a huge roll of the dice. In the meantime, your buddies could be advancing toward their target.
"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
Sitting back, in my experience at least, really only works when you already have the girl hooked. You have to engage her so that she'll notice you. At the same time there's no need to openly compete with your friends over a girl. Nobody wins as there will be resentment from everyone. While your friends are sitting there texting this girl, you should straight up ask her out.
