So, I was minding my own business, relaxing at home, when I received a message from a friend who had gone out drinking. I wanted to spend the day at home so I didn't go. Anyway, apparently he'd met up with a new co-worker of his and they were out drinking together. I've never met this co-worker but somehow I'd come up in their conversation. Not too surprising, since my friend likes to play matchmaker when he probably shouldn't.
This co-worker is (surprise, surprise) gay and single, so naturally my friend asked what she thought of me (I'm openly gay and perpetually single). Apparently she thinks I'm cute. I did a little social media snooping, to see what she was like. There's still a lot I don't know about her, but I also think she's cute. I have told my friend this, and he will likely tell her that I said this.
...Not really sure what is going to happen now. I still don't know anything about her, we might not have anything in common.
It might not be that relevant, but maybe some useful ideas in there about what to ask and how to do it.
