My (21M) roommate (21F) and I are very open with each other about a lot of stuff and she recently told me that a friend of hers (21F) (who I’ve only interacted with maybe 3 or 4 times) wants to ask me out but doesn’t think I’d be interested because I mentioned in passing that the idea of dating someone I don’t know well is weird to me.
As soon as I heard this, my confidence shot through the roof and I started thinking about how we have very similar personalities and get along well and that it may be worth a shot. But it feels like it would be fake if I did ask her out because I had no interest in her at all until my roommate told me about it, and I’m still unsure if I like her in that way or not,, and she doesn’t know that I know.
I’ve done this in the past where I asked someone out because I knew they liked me even when I still was unsure about them just because I didn’t want to be single anymore and it ended really badly between us, however that was in high school and she was also legit crazy and said (and this isn’t a joke) one of the voices in her head told her we should break up but she wanted to keep trying, we broke up less than a week later when she said she cheated on me, soooooo…… yeah.
My roommate’s friend and I get along well, and have extremely similar senses of humor, but I know very little about them. I’ve been very lonely at college and have been wanting to start dating but haven’t because I’ve been so busy with school (I have a dating app on my phone, I just never activated the account).
​
TL:DR – My roommate told me her friend likes me and I want to ask her out because I know they’d likely say yes even though I don’t know how I feel about them yet, nor know almost anything about them.
