The other day I was looking at my Facebook news feed and saw a picture of a friend of mine (who is a girl) with another girl that was really cute. I have never met this girl before or knew who she was. This girl and I have friends in common but I don't go to the same high school as them (I go to another high school in the area, but I did not move homes from last year) so I don't see those friends very often. I have a few friends that are girls that know her and a few friends that are guys that know her.

I was wondering if I should ask a friend that is a guy or a friend that is a girl about her?

I am hesitant to ask one of my friends that is a girl because I don't know how she would react to me asking about another girl she is friends with. In other words, I don't want to sound rude.

I don't want her to think that I am creepy because I saw her picture on Facebook. She was with a friend of mine and the picture did show up on my news feed. That doesn't make me sound creepy does it?

I should probably add that we are both in high school and I am assuming we are the same age because e friends we have in common are all my age.

Please help and ask if you need any more information that you can use to help me.

Thanks

Would asking the friend whose picture she is in to introduce you be an idea you would consider? Or comment on the picture and see if she comments on it. Do you know if she is on fb?

I do have to ask what your expectations are if she is available and does want to meet. If you don't see this set of friends very often, would things be different with her?

I agree, asking a friend, to introduce you to someone they know is not rude, in fact in the adult world that is networking or how we often meet people

I've been considering the idea of asking my friend about this girl. I have a feeling that she would understand and be fine with me asking about one of her friends but I don't know for sure.

This girl does have a Facebook and she was "tagged" in the picture.

I would be fine with commenting on the picture but I have no idea what I would say. Any suggestions?

I don't quite understand what you mean in the second paragraph that you wrote. Do you mean like where would we go and what would we do? Or do you mean when would we get together to see each other?

Thank you for helping me, I really appreciate it

What I was trying to ask is: Would you have time or be able to see her when you already seem to be having problems getting together with the friends-in-common that she hangs out with?

It would be unfair to both of you to try to meet and get to know each other better, if you know going into it that you wouldn't be able to hang out very often.

It might be an idea to see if you can make more time for the friends-in-common and see if you can meet her in a group setting. That way there wouldn't be any pressure and you can see what she is like in person.

I agree with what you said about getting together in a group setting. I think I would be the best way to relieve pressure from just me meeting her with nobody else around.

About seeing that group of friends. It's not that there is a problem hanging out with them. In fact, it would be easier to hang out with them because they live closer to me than my friends I go to school with.

I was thinking that the best place to get together would be one of the sports games or something like that. Any ideas?

I want to ask you, am I being realistic about meeting her you think? And if I meet her will she find it awkward because I saw her in a picture on my Facebook?

Thanks
