<p>So I have this dilemma. I like this guy but we only know each other by face. I don't want to jump into things so I kinda want to take it slow, which would be "hanging out" I suppose. The thing is, it's not that I don't have the "balls" to ask him out, it's how do you do it if we only know each other by face? We have no classes or ECs in common so I practically only know him from seeing him around.</p>
<p>I know one of his friends so I was thinking I could ask her if he's single and then maybe she'll run to him and be like "you know blah blah asked if you're single" and all of that. </p>
<p>So basically:
(1) How should I ask him out considering we only know each other by face?
(2) Should I ask his female friend if he's single/talk to him about me?
(3) Should I pursue this now (considering it's only 6 weeks of school left) or should I wait until August (when we start school again)?</p>
<p>Any and all answers will help. Just think of yourself in my shoes. How would you react?</p>
<p>Well one thing I wouldn’t do is wait on the opportunity. For all you know, he might have been scooped out by another just this evening. That’s why I say go for him asap. </p>
<p>And what’s the worse that could happen if you ask him out in a casual way? You only know each other by face and you aren’t the greatest of friends; the relationship between you two wouldn’t change, so asking him out wouldn’t be the end of the world. Just go for it before it’s too late. </p>
<p>Avoid the female friend. I think she would do more harm than good.</p>
<p>If I were in your shoes, I would have no idea what to do. Seriously, if you’ve never even talked to him, it’s going to be really weird…
At this point, even though it wouldn’t usually be a good idea, I think asking his girl friend about him would be the best chance you have
or if you’re really serious, you could make an effort to slip into whatever ECs he does, stalk him around and accidentally bump into him, or somehow make friends with other friends of his, or talk to him on facebok</p>
<p>I would talk to his female friend. You said it yourself, it’ll get back to him and at least he’ll be aware of your intentions. In any case, you’ve got more balls than most girls for even considering this so I’d give you props.</p>
<p>what he ^ said. I thought you were a dude until the <33344 spam. there’s a huge deficit of girls like you who would actually even think about asking first…</p>
<p>LOL. I am a guy the “<33333” was kind of a joke spam. LOL. :p</p>
<p>But thanks everyone for the advice. I think talking to his friend would be kind of a good idea because it would be hella awkawrd since we don’t know each other at all. Like calliebotte said, at least he’ll be aware of me more and my intentions.</p>
