strobe Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 So here's my situation. Recently at my job I was looking over some training programs we had to do online. In this program they had cheesy photos of employees training each other. They were particularly funny because I know one of the girls in the photos. She and I started at the same time and have always kept in touch as she moved to a different department, and even when she moved out of state. I emailed her to make fun of her, And we had a good laugh about it. I'd be lying to say that was the only reason though. In the photo there was a very stunning girl in a purple sweater next to her. I asked about her a bit and wondered if she was single. If she was, I told my friend that she should try to set us up My friend and girl in the purple kept in contact but only emailed occasionally. Turns out she worked just a floor below me. My friend suggested I walk around that floor on my break and see if I run into her. Meanwhile she'd email purple sweater girl and tell her about me. My friend emailed her and apparently she didn't work there anymore, so me running into her wasn't going to happen. No big deal, my friend said she would mention me in her next email. She didn't want to bring me up and have the girl think that was the only reason she was writing her. Cool, I said. I waited patiently. That was 2 weeks ago. My friend disappears from our email conversations for weeks at a time, so I'm not surprised she hasn't replied. I am anxious to hear what purple sweater girl said, or if my friend even said anything. From what my friend told me she sounds cool, and I obviously find her attractive. Through facebook I found the girl, and so now I'm thinking. Do I keep waiting for my friend to respond, or do I take control and just message her? I hesitate because I know girls get random guys hitting on them through facebook, and myspace. I don't want her to think of me as one of those creeps. On the other hand I could be waiting 2 more weeks for a response from my friend. What should I do?
alphamale Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 i think your cancel of getting a date with purple girl are not very good in this situation. you'll probably look like a weirdo if you try to hit on her on FB. if shes that attractive shes got guys asking her out daily. i think you should set your sights on someone else.

alphamale Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 Purple girl? well she was wearing a purple sweater...
Author strobe Posted March 5, 2010 Author Posted March 5, 2010 Haha yeah, and I called her purple sweater girl a few times. I think I agree with you alphamale. I figure All I can do is see if my friend sets us up. If not then there's not much I can do, without coming across as a facebook stalker
Ariadne Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 emailed her to make fun of her lying to say that was the only reason a very stunning girl in a purple sweater try to set us up walk around that floor on my break mention me in her next email 2 weeks ago... I am anxious to hear find her attractive Through facebook I found the girl take control and just message her? What should I do? (All the things they do for a girl they don't know anything about just because she looks hot in a picture).
Author strobe Posted March 5, 2010 Author Posted March 5, 2010 (All the things they do for a girl they don't know anything about just because she looks hot in a picture). well i didn't do all that just because she looked hot in a picture. i asked about her and was told she was a great girl. just like when a girl asks her friends about a guy she doesn't know but thinks is cute. me emailing my friend to make fun of her would have been done regardless of if there was another girl in the pic or not.
xpaperxcutx Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 IMO, if you outright contact it would border on stalkerish. I can see a billboard or an advertisement where I can think " that guy is hot" but I wouldn't want to google or research the person on the internet just to contact them. THe point is, is she someone you have to get know? Do you feel like you're John Cusack ditching a wedding just to meet Kate Beckingsale? ( channeling Serendipity here)
Austen Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 Why not have your friend use the Facebook "suggest a friend" option and suggest you as a friend to "purple sweater girl"? It would be quick and easy for your friend to do, and it would get you in the door. Plus it would put the ball in PSG's court without putting her on the spot.
