So, my friend sees this girl and says "She's absolutely stunning but I haven't got the bottle to talk to her" I respond "no worries" and proceed to tell her that he likes her, when I point to where he was, he left, then I realised this seemed like we were still at school so the only way I could remedy the situation was to game her myself.
Turns out it was the best decision I've made in 6+ weeks.
