Hey buddy, ill try help you out here.
Well seeing how you said they are your friends, then im guessing that at the moment, it isnt very likely that they will want to date you. It is not hopeless however, what you need to do is forget about those hot friends of yours, they are useless to you, except for social proof.
From now on what i want you to do is improve yourself, girls arent important any more, you are the most important person in your life and you have to ensure that you become the best person you can possibly be.
I strongly suggest you read the bible if you havent all ready, the new bible is an incredible compilation of writing (mad props to Matrix for putting it all together) that will change your life if you apply the things talked about.
Once your life has become healthy and you are on a steady self improvement rate then it is safe (and healthy) to start thinking about girls again, 7-8's are good, start with them and get some experience with girls. Your aim is to work your way up to the 9-10's, the 7-8's will social proof you and you will soon begin to see the hotties paying attention to you.
If your looking on advice on girls (you shouldnt be yet, you should have improved your life to a healthy standard and built up a habit of constant self improvement) then i strongly suggest the Weapons of mass seduction post that is stickied in the "Don Juan Tips" Forum, mad props to fingers for writing all that.
Recap:
1. Forget about girls and improve yourself (Read the bible to improve mindset). A random list of good improvements to make: Physical condition, friendliness, have a few hobbies/passions, develop good study habits, be socially active, etc.
2. Start dating some girls (7-8's) and learn what works and what doesnt, get comfortable around these girls and apply some of the things in the weapons of mass seduction manual.
3. Let the hotties see how much of a pimp you are, and use the perfected techniques listed in the weapons of mass seduction manual.
These 3 steps will take you a long time to accomplish but its the quickest and healthiest way to go about it. Step #1 is vital, without it you will be mentally unprepared to face the challenges girls will present to you.
Hope that helped.
