I'd bring the big guns right away. It sounds like a great opportunity and personally, I feel that you might waste it by adding unnecessary variables to your success (luck, etc) by doing it phase by phase. Make it easier for yourself man.

When confronted with these sort of issues I find it best to analogize to my favorite past time. Pulling broads.

Scenario: I'm at a club. See a hot chick I want to take home. I'm nervous b/c she's bad and I really want her, so my adrenaline's through the roof. Then I realize she was sorority sisters with my best friends girl who I get along with great. So I call my boy and tell him the scene. He tells me his girls getting off work in an hour and that she should make the call. I think to myself "fuckin' AAAY!!! she's gonna call her and tell her to notice me and i'll just slide up and i'll be hittin'it in two hours tops without having to even buy her a drink".

What happens in reality? My phone rings and the excited girlfriend is on the line ranting about how me and the hot chick will make such a dope couple, she just texted her and it will all be great...but none of that matters, why?

Because the guy that approached the minute I was plotting my great masterdebating plan is now fingerbanging her under the table in the corner and I'm wondering what I did wrong.

Eliminate your insecurity and go for the goal. Period.

 

^yeah, I think you're right on this. 99% of life can be brought back to the hunt... NEVER hesitate - it's one of the only rules.

Thanks.

Also - @ whoever threw monkey shit at this original post - you're a fuckface... I'm actually seriously stressed about this (I never get stressed!) - you no good fucking degenerate whore : )
