My best friend's best friend just moved an hour away from where I live. All 3 of us of from the same basic area, and my best friend is the only that has stayed in the area, me and this other girl have moved away for years now. I have not seen this girl in about 18 yrs, and before that we only hung out maybe like 2 times because I moved far away. We are friends on Facebook and share a common interest....my best friend. Do you think it would be weird if I invited this girl to lunch? I mean we are from the same area, have the same best friend, etc. I just get stoked when people close to my hometown move close to me. I have thought about just texting my best friend to see how this girl would take it, but I don't know if she will give me an honest answer in attempts to not make this whole situation awkward!
If it were me, lunch would be a bit much at this stage. It may get awkward. You’ll talk about your mutual friend and then your hometown and that’ll be that.
I’d work on forming your own relationship with her. Personally, I’d start with some Facebook/email exchanges. If things go well and are friendly and you read her as being receptive and like her, maybe then see if she’d be up for coffee. That’ll ease you into your own relationship rather than a forced one. But that’s just me, others move faster.
I agree with g-fused....and forming a relationship with her b/4 lunch. She gave some good suggestions.
I sure wouldn't sucker myself into lunch and spending more time than I would really care to with someone who, once we got together, we didn't have much in common.
Go for it. If you two don't click, lunch doesn't take that long. You could make a good new friend, though. A friend of my husband's introduced us to some of her friends, a married couple she thought we'd like. We love them! It's cool enough when both of us like both halves of a couple, but our sons were instant best friends and their daughter is a sweetie too. If your best friend likes this woman so much, I bet you will like her too.
Agree with those who say go for it. I felt the same when I was living in a different country and actually did meet people this way. The first person I ever met was the boyfriend of a friend's sister - and we all became really good friends. It's not strange at all.
I don't think it would be weird at all. If she's new to the area she may really appreciate it.
I agree.
