writes:Hey everyone,So a while ago I saw a photo from a female friend of mine on Facebook which was with her and this really attractive girl. Didn't think much of it.Turns out I saw her on the bus going home a few days ago, I couldn't approach her as it was full, and all of that.So seeing as she looks better than I thought in real life, I checked out that old photo and saw she was tagged - so I quickly looked at her Facebook profile - we have a lot in common. So, I'm interested in actually approaching her.Keep in mind she doesn't know who I am.So I don't want to begin things through a "random" Facebook add. Which is such a childish way to go about this..I was thinking of asking the female friend who was in the photo to ask her to introduce myself to her... But wouldn't it be awkward and creepy if I brought up something a few weeks old, of a specific person? ...Not to mention the girl kinda has a thing for me as well, might get her upset.The seeing her in real life thing was just an odd coincidence, so I don't want to bank on that. Besides, what's the point of waiting all the time if it turns out to be as good as I thought (bad personality)I don't know anyone else that knows her other than the female friend.Does this mean I have to go through the tedious and awkward process of randomly adding her on Facebook?Is there a better way to do this?Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.Thanks!

 I would ask your mutual friend what her (the girl you are interested in) story is. She may have a boyfriend. She may be a lesbian.
Ask your friend if she thinks her friend would be receptive to meeting you.
BUT be aware that if your friend is your "friend" in hopes of being more, it could all blow up in your face.
You could comment on the picture...... and adding a person to facebook as a friend is not tedious or difficult.
you know the friends name... message her if you wish.

 A random Facebook add IS a bit lame and she might just find it weird. I never accept friendship requests from people I don't know, even if we have friends in common. Asking your friend, who you know has feelings for you, to introduce you would be cruel. If you bump into her again you could try talking to her, maybe tell her you recognise her (but do NOT tell her you've Facebook stalked her).
In any case, I would forget about her for now. If you do see her out then fine, but I wouldn't pursue it. Even if you say you have things in common, you are going purely by looks here. Go for someone you've actually met for now.
