Sonderho,
Some things you have done well
(i) Since we last talked I can see you have taken action to improve your game. I note with pleasure that you took my advice and started networking with fellow game-aware men in real life.
[1]
(ii) Similarly, it appears that you have been working on your social circle.
What you can improve on
Amidst the harsh yet understandable criticism and the admittedly hilarious satire (Oz & Pheonix!
), there are some useful, take-home messages to be found in this thread. Take a deep breath and focus on how you can use it to improve your mindset and behaviours in getting closer to sexual success and a better quality of life.

Part of my motivation for taking it home was using it as an opportunity to get them in my place/their place easily
(i) Considering that you are new to the game, it is natural to think tactically about how to persuade girls to come over to your place. However, it seems that due to your lack of options and inexperience in reading sexual receptiveness, you are latching on to any chance with women, no matter how small. It is clear that you are clutching at straws and I have to agree with Suits here - you're thirsty. Too thirsty.
(ii) You cannot force, pressure, or trick women into a situation where they will suddenly be attracted to you and open up. You have to work on it, step-by-step. There are no shortcuts, for now.
Lessons for the future
(i) Beware the danger of trying to squeeze the faintest whiff of sexual opportunity out of any interaction. You need to recognize and accept when your chances are dead in the water. In addition, I previously wrote some tips here on how to kill the thirst.

I could be overthinking this...
(ii) Yes you were, which is normal considering your active mind and recent entrance into pickup. I have met many young guys with a similar disposition and I used to chronically overthink game too, so the following advice is based on real experience:
Keep it simple: attract -> isolate -> comfort -> pull -> arouse.
In many situations I wouldn't hesitate to highlight the limitations of simplified, largely unhelpful advice like the Natural's "just be high value" or the classic from Mum "just be yourself". Nonetheless, it seems that over-analysis could be holding up your progress. Therefore despite the imprecision of this linear, non-contextualized model (e.g., sometimes you need a reasonable level of trust before you can isolate a girl from her friends), I think you'll find its simplicity to be helpful.
Sometimes less is more. Put another way, sometimes thinking less will get you more girls -- assuming of course you are taking massive
ACTION. Remember: read less, think less, take more action, then reflect.
(iii) To simplify your target women, consider the below:

We're just friends at this stage... I like one of them who has a boyfriend and my gut tells me she has a soft spot for me.
I urge you to
NOT sexually escalate with any females in your existing social circle.*
*The exception would be if they have already shown you clear sexual receptivity such as allowing you to isolate and touch them more intimately than what a friend would accept.
Although it is possible to play the long game (like how I once banged the best friend of my ex-girlfriend six whole years after meeting her), it is extremely unlikely that you have already triggered an unspoken, hidden spark of attraction that you will suddenly be able to leverage. The friend zone is real, and almost certainly well-fortified in this case.
What's more, there are several risks for you pursuing these types of taken and/or previously-acquainted girls, including: {a} amplifying your sense of non-reciprocated sexual interest, which will dent your self-confidence, {b} appearing 'weird' or 'creepy', which will tarnish your social reputation, and {c} pissing off their dudes, which could turn ugly. Instead, give them all a casual NP-LJBF ("No problem, let's just be friends") -- in your mind at the very least -- which will help protect your reputation and increase the chance of hooking other prospects through your network.
In summary, utilize the powerful principle of
social proof from your existing social circle in getting interest from brand new prospects, and likewise keep up the
cold-approaching.
Tips on RVF posting etiquette
(i) Make sure you read the forum rules.
[3]
(ii) Search the forum for your topic or key words before posting a new thread. I suggest you refrain from starting new threads for now, and next time stick this type of "what-do-I-do?" situation in the 'Player's Log / Lounge'. Alternatively the 'What should I text next? thread' is also good for technical advice.

(iii) Zanardi, Destiny and others have created their own journals which illustrate an efficient way for you to track your own progress. Just remember to post it in the 'Newbie Forum' rather than here, the main game section.

Thread title : Girls left their clothes in my room..
Fact: OP himself took the clothes home with him to "help" the girls..
(iv) Why did you write this, I wonder. Because I don't know the reason for such wording I'll leave it with you to explain or at least ponder. Just try to keep the wording accurate and re-read your post before submitting. Last, putting in some extra effort and detail into your posts will increase the chance of receiving quality, meaningful feedback.
As usual feel free to contact me off-forum if you want to clarify these comments, discuss a specific situation or just talk game. All the best.
