This might be a fairly long post, I'm going to try and organize it

Intro:
There's a girl. She's living in our state only for the summer, and we met her about a month ago. I decided that even though she would be leaving after the summer, I was interested in her, and that I wanted to get at least one date. She's very cute and we can at least hold a conversation.
I have 2 really good friends, one male and one female, and us + new girl generally are always together when we're hanging out. Haven't gotten any real 1 on 1 time with new girl.
We're all in our mid 20s (24-27). I live with male friend, and new girl is renting a room from female friend.

Facts:
- She's friendly with me, seems to be comfortable around me, and got my number from female friend to text me a picture, but hasn't texted me since
- Male friend said that new girl is cute, but he wasn't going to date her because she'll be leaving
- Later, he asked for her number from female friend, and he got it
- Female friend thinks male friend is trying to "steal her new best friend"
- He's going to the movies tomorrow with "a friend" (he's being vague about this, usually isn't)

Things I think are true:
- I thought she was into me for a bit, but now not so sure.
- They've been texting (just assuming since they have each others numbers)
- She's attracted to him (at least I think so, I'm going off of random body language bullshit I read about online)
- She is the "friend" he's going to the movies with (don't know that for sure, might just be pessimism on my part)

Basically, I think that they might be going out, or at the very least into each other. Normally at this point I'd use all of this as an excuse to just drop it and not even try with her. But I told myself that I wouldn't just give up like I always do, especially since she'll be gone in a little over a month, I figured trying to get a date would be kinda risk free, and it would be good practice for me.

Continued in next post, sorry for length.

At this point I think the right course of action would legitimately be to just not do anything. I'm afraid coming onto her would potentially irritate/insult/be awkward for all three of them, and be humiliating for me if it turns out she's already got a thing with male friend. I'm kind of growing to resent him for potentially going for her before I got my chance, so maybe just giving up would be better for everyone.

But maybe this is just my defeatist side finding a really good excuse to give up? It's difficult for me to tell, because I'm pretty bad at this kind of thing and get depressed sometimes, so I can't tell what's the logical course of action, and what's just my emotions overrunning with negativity.

So I wanted to ask unbiased, honest people. Am I right to just drop all this, or is this all in my head and I should just go for it first chance I get?

I'm also not afraid to bump this several times to get a little help. This has been driving me crazy for the past several days and it's beginning to wear on me
>>
No one even has an opinion?
>>
dont do it op sorry i can just tell from all of this you're overthinking it and she prob already knows you're interested. you either need to chill out and take it easier or just drop it completely
>>
>>18470336
I'm definitely aware that I'm ascribing too much significance to this, mainly I'm concerned about fucking up my social circle or at the very least making things really awkward.

I'm not 100% sure I agree though that she just knows I'm into her. I'm friends with more girls than I am guys, and I can tell you they can be pretty oblivious too. But anyway, you may be right that I just need to drop it. Just can't shake the feeling that I'm making excuses.

You said that you're in your mids 20's but you talk and act like a teenager, nobody owes you shit, if they're going out together is non of your business, you had your chance but didn't acted, your prefered to play the assumptions game, not trying to offend you by any means, but are you a virgin?

I don't remember saying anyone owed me anything. I'm (irrationally) irritated with my friend because he's much more successful with women than I am, and I wish he'd just chill for once. Every female that we both know that I've felt attracted to, he's dated at one time or another.

Obviously if I'm posting here and acting like this, I'm a virgin. I've had a single girlfriend ever. This is why I wanted to do this, I want to date this girl for a bit because she's gonna be leaving in a month. If she rejects me then it's fine because she's leaving. If she accepts then hey, more of a chance for me to learn from stupid mistakes on the actual date.

Again, your friend made a move, you didn't, "getting along well" means nothing if you don't make your intentions clear, have you even talked to him about it? Do he even know that you're into her? Do she even know that you're into her? its just a guessing game, you're just making assumptions after all, grow a pair and talk to them about it if its so important to you.

I don't even know why I posted here. I've done it before and it's never helped. You're all so normal, it's pointless. The only advice you can give is "just do it" or "be better".

I've got anxiety and depression I deal with on a regular basis and because of it am full of self-doubt and self-hatred, which obviously makes approaching women difficult. I lack the ability to judge my own attractiveness because I just assume no one's interested in me. Yes, I'm inexperienced, because every time anything comes up I give up and resign myself to the fact that I never had a chance. I looked at this as an opportunity to help myself maybe get over this shit. I haven't even gotten a chance to ask her out because both my friends are literally always around her. Maybe I should just "man up", but for me that's basically impossible. I'm not about to have a heart to heart conversation with these people and embarrass myself, my main concern was trying not to embarrass myself to begin with.

So yeah, I guess I'll just give up yet again, always too slow because I have no confidence, and having no confidence because I'm always too slow. Stuck as I am, having learned nothing and gained nothing besides the fact that someone like me legitimately can't get a date with a semi-attractive girl no matter what.

You're not looking for help, you're look for validation, if you expected to come here just to hear what you want then you've made a mistake, i've said what you should do but you just ignored and played the victim because you're a pussy, so yeah, just give up, you don't even deserve this girl in first place with this childish attitude, good luck out there buddy.

Actually, I came here to get unbiased opinions about my situation and whether my assessment of it was correct, not to hear generic advice from dudebros about having conversations no normal person has with someone they just met, or about how I need to "man up". It's completely worthless advice from people who lack empathy. You have no thoughts of your own, you are generic and pointless. My question wasn't "give me generic dating advice", my question was whether my mental illness and inexperience was leading me to misjudge the situation, or if I was correct to decide that it wasn't worth the potential social awkwardness it could cause for my friend group.

But yeah your right, I'm sure "man up" and "just b urself" are gonna solve all my problems, thanks.

Make up your mind, you can't have both, and no advice is worthless just because it hurts your sensitive self-esteem.
>You have no thoughts of your own, you are generic and pointless.
Because your situation is generic aswell, i'm not going to project some bullshit just because some autistic op doesn't want to go out of his way to do something.
>But yeah your right, I'm sure "man up" and "just b urself" are gonna solve all my problems, thanks.
Most of time it indeed does, but let me guess, you're too scared to step out of your confort zone and blaming others for "not understanding you" is easier, right?! Like you've already noticed, i'm the only one replying to your thread because there's nothing more that really needs to be said about your situation, either take it or leave.
>>
>>18471476
You aren't saying anything to begin with. I could literally replace you with a magic 8 ball and get the same usefulness out of it. I guess your cure for depression is "man up" too huh? You're a really smart cookie. Even if my situation is shit I'm happy now because I'm not as stupid as you are.
>>
>>18471526
The cure for depression is therapy and meds, but that is not what you asked in this thread right?! Sorry to disapoint you bro, try asking a friend next time, i'm sure they will say something that will make you feel better with youself for being this pathetic.
>>
>>18471553
You're useless scum, hope you understand that. Go back to whatever dead end life you're living and stop pretending to help people.
>>
>>18471567

There you go >>>/r9k/

An autistic angry virgin like yourself will have tons of fun in this place, just don't come back ok?!
