Hi folks,
I'm a gamer guy who recently got out of a long-term relationship. Ever since then, I've been having dating and flinging and just catching up on what I missed out on in my youth. When I was younger, I never really played the dating game because I was just really obsessed with games and academics, so I never really knew how to play the game until I started reading GirlsChase.
Anyway, long story short, I met and hooked up with a girl named Sally a few months ago. Although we started off the way we did, we quickly realised that we were more compatible platonically than romantically, so we stopped hooking up. Sally has some really hot girl friends in her social circle, one of whom (let's call her Jessica) she introduced to me after I commented on how hot she looked. Sally tells me that I'm "probably not Jessica's type", but because I have a way with people, it didn't really phase me. I thought that if I met Jessica through Sally, I'd have a pretty good chance of charming her.
So Sally sets up this gathering with a small group of her friends and asks me along. Through that gathering, I met Jessica and the group of us had a pretty good time. After the gathering, Jessica sets up a group chat and adds me, saying that it's for John (i.e. me) to update them on one of my upcoming dates that I was pretty excited about. Sally quickly tells me (in private) that Jessica seems to have a shine for me. I didn't PM Jessica afterwards though, as I wasn't interested in anything other than a potential fling, and I thought I could just escalate things with her when the group met again.
A few days ago though, Sally and I went out with some of my other friends. This got Jessica commenting (albeit in a humourous tone) in our group chat asking if me and Sally were shagging (we weren't, but she knew we started off as flings). When we didn't reply, Jessica texted Sally asking the same thing. The day after this, Jessica seemed like she was in auto-rejection, as she made other plans for when the group of us was meeting, and I'm left wondering what I can do about this. If I don't get to see her, then I can't escalate!
I wanted to get you guys' views on a few things:

I wanted to get you guys' views on a few things:
- After Jessica created the group chat, would you have slid into her PM to escalate things? Why or why not? I personally didn't because I don't like chatting a whole lot, and I didn't think I needed to talk to her to escalate things.
- How will you handle the situation with Jessica where she auto-rejects? All I can think of is engaging her more in text to increase her perceived attainability of me.
