masaki1085 Posted August 22, 2009 Posted August 22, 2009 Facebook complications, and more. A friend of mine has been *trying* to set me up with a friend of hers from her work for awhile now. I have never met her friend in person, but I am facebook friends with her. Both myself and this other girl know that my friend is trying to set us up. I am interested in meeting her friend. My friend says her friend is interested in meeting me. I became facebook friends with this girl because my friend had told me she was interested in becoming a teacher and had questions and such. Since I am in fact a teacher, my friend suggested to her friend that we become facebook friends in order to finally introduce ourselves to each other (and since I'm a teacher--also answer her questions). This girl thought it was a good idea, according to my friend and I friended her (she cannot friend me because I set my privacy setting way high). We had a very brief (yet pleasant) message exchange on facebook after we became facebook friends, and she said she'd get back to me with teaching questions. This was a few weeks ago--I haven't heard back from her about those, though. About a week ago--following our initial contact on facebook, my friend and her friend were organizing a group get-together for the purpose of her friend and I meeting in person. Unfortunately, after the get-together had been set up, her friend bailed from the plan the night before (she had an opportunity to meet an author), so I never got to meet her. As of now, my friend hasn't had a chance to work with this girl since she had bailed from the get-together they were planning, and they haven't had a chance to talk since that point. My friend hasn't had a chance to gauge if her friend wants to still, in fact, meet me. I am still facebook friends with her friend, though I haven't talked with her since our initial contact on facebook. I had thought about possibly "gunning" it, and simply messaging her to ask if she would like to grab a cup of coffee and meet--maybe offer answers to her questions about teaching and such. My friend advised me that I should wait until she has a chance to talk to her friend again before acting--just to see if there is still interest in meeting me (my friend doesn't know either way). My big question--take a risk or play it safe? I AM interested in meeting her friend, but I'm not sure if I should play it safe and wait. I'm conflicted because who knows how long it will take to actually meet this girl if I wait on my friend to talk to her. I'm also conflicted because I don't want to seem like some facebook creeper or anything. Any thoughts? Thank you!
