JustGettingBy Posted March 5, 2016 Posted March 5, 2016 I've decided to ask out a friend-of-a-friend (she's single, and all the people we mutually know are either in a relationship or happy with being single). However, the only time her and I see each other is in a large group environment. I want to ask her out face-to-face, but not in front of everyone as it makes things awkward for her, myself and the group. Advice? 1

We generally play board games and table top games, that are pretty high paced and require lots of attention. We really only break for food. 1

While she's eating or drinking say "hey, can I have a minute of your time?" and gesture to move away from the crowd. It's really not that hard to corner someone in a group situation. That being said, do you think she's interested in going out with you? Is there chemistry? Does she give you lots of attention? 1

It's really not that hard to corner someone in a group situation. That being said, do you think she's interested in going out with you? Is there chemistry? Does she give you lots of attention? Last time the group was together I would do some subtle things (when I say something jokey, I look at her for the punchline to gauge her reaction) and she seemed to always respond very well when addressed. She doesn't really start conversations with anyone, but she's pretty introverted so its hard to tell if that's out of lack of interest or not. Either way, she doesn't seem like the type to hold it against me for taking a shot as long as I don't make her feel bad regardless of her answer. 1
Shanex Posted March 5, 2016 Posted March 5, 2016 I understand the situation and it's not an easy one, i dont know how shy or not you are tho. Taking her out of the group for a few minutes, and ask for her number and/ or suggest a date somewhere out of said group might be an idea. Easier said than done but try it... 2
