I have two friends, Andrea and Nancy, in their early 30's. Andrea is bi, and has a crush on Nancy. Both are anxious types, especially when it comes to dating. Nancy hasn't even dated in years, but a while ago chalked that up to Covid first, anxiety second, and then to living in a more remote town north of the cities where she doesn't feel she has much in common in terms of interests and politics. Now, she hasn't dated much, and only men thus far, but has told me she is open to any gender.
I road tripped with them this weekend. Andrea had a few drinks and was sitting in the back with Nancy. I was up front driving with another friend riding shotgun.
Andrea commented to Nancy that I "shipped them" as a couple. Nancy said "oh really, but then talked about how she always has such a hard time telling if people are into her or others are into each other. I'd overheard heard this and reminded her that she was proud she'd picked up on a connection a couple years ago I had with another friend of ours.
Apparently after that, Andrea made the comment "I might be interested in trying that out if you are", but she isn't even sure Nancy registered that because it went kind of ignored. We were also heading into a MASSIVE storm.
So, I'm trying to figure out how to gauge Nancy's reaction to what was said and see if she even clocked the second part of it.
Maybe just texting "So Andrea told you I thought you two might make a cute couple huh?" Perhaps add an lol and see what goes from there?
