Ok peoples, so here’s the tea!
There’s this girl I’m interested in, we’ll call her Tory. Tory and I haven’t known each other long but have hung out amongst friends on multiple occasions. I find her quite attractive and she’s a lot of fun to be around, so I’d like to ask her out.
Her friend, we’ll call her Laney, and I have been friends for much longer and I’d consider her a close friend. Close enough that I felt comfortable asking her what Tory’s situation is like at the moment.
Laney told me that “Tory isn’t interested in any one from our friend group and her and a guy just ended so she’s not looking for anything.” How long ago that was I have no idea but honestly I don’t think it was all THAT recently so I’m not necessarily feeling that discouraged by this.
I honestly feel like this is kind of a dumb question and I kinda should know the answer but I’m just asking here regardless.
Basically I’m just wondering whether I just go straight to the source and ask Tory about how long ago she got out of her relationship and how she’s feeling about dating at the moment. Then of course depending how that goes I’d ask her out.
P. S.
I recognize the fact that Laney said Tory isn’t interested in anyone from our friend group but part of me just hopes that is just because she “just ended it with someone” and hasn’t really thought about it much. I also know that Laney doesn’t feel the same way as I do about our friendship and is into me more romantically than friends but I haven’t allowed it to go there because I’m not really interested. So I feel like she kinda has ulterior motives and this only makes it more difficult for me to judge the situation.
I’d appreciate any insight ya’ll have as well as just how to approach Tory about this if that’s what you think I should do.
