I approached her friend!!

I saw this girl at a chai shop one day, sitting alone, and I wanted to approach her but couldn’t gather the courage. The next day, I saw her again, and the same thing happened—I couldn’t approach her. I told myself that the next time I saw her, I’d approach her no matter what.

When that day finally came, she was with her friend. Once again, I couldn’t bring myself to talk to her. Frustrated, I made up my mind that this time I’d approach her no matter what. So, when I saw her again the next day with the same friend, I approached... her friend instead. I don’t even know why—maybe it was the pressure of the situation.

I was super nervous and probably talked to her friend for a minute or so. She clearly wasn’t interested. I told her she looked pretty and even asked for her Instagram, but then she got a call from her friend (the girl I originally wanted to approach) and left.

At the time, I didn’t think much of it. But now I keep seeing the main girl at the chai shop, and I can’t stop wondering why I approached her friend instead. She’s usually there with another friend or two, including the one I awkwardly spoke to.

Today, I saw her again with her two friends (including the girl I approached), and they ended up sitting at the same table as me. It’s a small tea shop, so there’s not much space. I just sat there scrolling through my phone and occasionally glancing around, thinking to myself, Why did I approach her friend instead of her?

So, my question is: Have I lost my chance to approach the main girl? Or should I just move on and forget about what happened?
