I agree that you may be thinking a little too much. The most important question is do you want her there? It sounds like you do, but you are concerned about her hurting you again.
So if you do want her there, invite her. That is the easy part, the hard part, is how will you approach the situation once she is invited.
There two ways to play it, closed handed, and open handed. You can either invite her, and see if sheās willing to take your lead socially, or you can isolate her to see if sheās wlling to ask for your attention. Which plan is honestly up to you. My personal choice would be to be friendly and open with her. If she shows up and causes a ruckus, just cut her out with no apologies. That way, if it works out, youāve got a cutie by your side, if it doesnāt you just showed your friend you wonāt put up with her BS. It also fully reveals her nature so that you do not need to second guess yourself anymore.
The reason I would choose those actions is to see how she will act, if given the freedom (and thus showing her character) and thereās little chance of blaming me. (I invited you, I welcomed you, and you act up? Youāre just immature, but if I invite you, ignore you, you have some justification in being annoyed at me.)
Keep in mind that is just what works from me, and I am far from a exemplary PUA. I operate in a different way. Most likely, you do as well. So take my advice with a grain of salt. I wanted to add also, that there is a subtle difference between ignoring someone and being too busy to pay attention. Make sure if you do go āclosedhandedā then donāt ignore her, just have too much fun to be paying atention to her specifically.
IMO, the pheromones you wear will not be important, certainly not as important as the mindset you bring to the table. I know a girl that tells me sheāll call back and almost always forgets. I donāt get mad over that. Thatās the way it is, I just know not to put too much weight on her arrangements and have no reservations on flaking on her at any moment for any reason. That way, there is no stress over the way she is treating me, and I still get to enjoy her company for the reasons I enjoy it.
That being said, I donāt know what I would wear, probably a drop of A314, maybe some p83, lots of Shine with some Honesty, a dash of p74ā¦annd I dunno, maybe a hint of -none. But thatās for me, you should probably stick to what has worked for you and keep it simple.
Finally, I guess the only other thing I can say is that, perhaps we donāt mention this because it implies a lack of control over our destiny, but context and timing is really important. Some people can seem rude or unfriendly if you catch them at the wrong time/wrong place. I am an asshole, I am a dick, but only when the situation calls for it, and if you catch me in that moment and that is your only impression of me, then that is all you will know me as, despite the fact that I am not that kind of guy. So consider that maybe you saw her on the wrong night and that today is better. There is no doubt that the fact that it is your birthday is exciting, but who cares? Donāt block yourself from the goodies life can deliver. So far, life has forced me into an uncomfortable position in order to gain something I want.
Want a good body? Workout. Want good grades? Study. Want money? Work. Want girls? Take risks. What do all of those have in common? They are all uncomfortable, they are all necessary to succeed.
Phatsounds, Iāve mentioned this before, and I may be completely incorrect. If so, sorry. But I propose to you, that you start embracing the unsettling feelings, the uncertainty, the confusion. Learn to be comfortable in it. When something bad happens, donāt hide your wounds until you are ready to let the doctor see it, expose yourself in your rawest moment. It stings like no other, but if you can do that, and look at yourself when you are at your most vulnerable, you will not feel vulnerable in those situations later.
Pheromones, girls that are bitches, guys that are dicks, friends that are fake. Life will throw them at you, and can certainly throw more at your (financial ruin, physical disability, etc) From what Iāve seen so far, itās not where you start, itās not what you have, itās what youāre willing to do to get to where you want to be.
Plans, talents, connections, all that glitter and glitz aside, it is execution that gets the job done. Execute, execute, execute. All those other things help you execute, but your chain is only as strong as the weakest link. Make sure you are not the weak link.
You make everything happen, pheromones or not. If you want to enjoy your birthday, DO YOUR BEST TO ENJOY IT! Donāt let others scare you into having a bad time, or limiting yourself. If anyone asks what you are doing, just say, itās my birthday! whatever the hell I want! Theyāll probably want to join in. Have fun PS.
