They'll love you for it. And smile when you talk to them.
I agree with all of the above. But be careful, be charming to her friends, absolutely, but keep your focus on your date.

Haha, I hardly think I am a hot piece, she said she was kinda tired of dating but then is not completely closed to it either, so it could be that. I don't know, let's see how it goes.

Secondly, don't think so negatively of yourself. She has definitely shown some interests here. Maybe she wants a second opinion from her friends or wants to parade you in front of her friends. Confidence is the key. Don't act like you are constantly expecting the worst from every single of her actions.

Good luck.
Yeah I agree, now I feel a bit more positive about my situation, I realized that I was being my own worst enemy and that I could only get better. I would take things slowly and quite honestly whether this works or not I won't be too disappointed unlike my last relationship, I guess starting with low to no expectations but being open to whatever happens is the way to go. I didn't do it the last time and got burned.

ur thinking way too much about it, hang out with her and her friends and see what happens. If she ignores you then ditch her, if she gives u attention and things seem normal then continue on with her

Default How to get this woman interested in me?

1-Give her a blank check that will not bounce.
2-Let her use your "plastic" cards.

Everyone gets rejected at some point. Everyone. Whether in dating, or in college application, or in job hunting.

Rejection really isn't the end of the world.

With that said, I agree with you that expectations should be kept low at the beginning.

Good luck. Let us know how it goes.

The most successsful people in the world have got rejected a lot more then the unsuccessful. Of course the women will label the guys as players also.

Ditto. You won't succeed until you try

Well an update here, I messaged her twice last week i.e., the last Tuesday and then the Wednesday(assuming she might not have received the SMS on Tuesday) and that too in a very casual manner like "how's your day going?", etc etc and have never heard back from her. This after she said we would meet again this week sometime based on her schedule the last Sunday.

I sent her an email on Thursday because she said once that her phone doesn't receive messages sometimes and it happened to us once before so I sent her an email mentioning the same on Thursday, again no response. So I guess she's not interested anymore, I just hoped she might have been courteous about it and said she wasn't interested in meeting again had that been the case.

But oh well!!
