There's this cute girl in one of my courses who I want to ask out. We've exchanged words a few times and today I talked to her and her friend for a bit as we left class. Then I ran into them again later today and we talked a bit more. She seems cool and I'd like to get to know her more.

But as that little story may have illustrated, she always seems to be with her good friend. I don't want to ask her out right in front of her friend because I know it can be awkward for all parties involved and possibly hurt one's chances. What should I do? They literally come in to class together and leave together. I'm secretly hoping her friend decides to skip class on Friday, or at least leaves early or something Advice?

Cute and girl next to each other don't exist in College Park.

Kidding aside. Sit next to her on Friday, make conversation and ask her to do something specific like lunch on campus or something just as a quick aside.

It can be annoying when girls always stick together like that. I'd say just don't care what her friend thinks and ask her out anyway.

Then just ignore the friend, and take your shot. Yes, it will be more awkward than if she were alone. But a less-than-ideal opportunity is better than no opportunity at all. Fortune favors the bold.

All good thoughts. I'll definitely make conversation with her. I may just have to ask her in front of her friend, or maybe as we're leaving I'll kinda focus on talking to her (probably just ask her if she's getting the material) and slow down my pace. Friend doesn't notice and is a little out of earshot, I pop the question, and see where it goes from there.

Oh yeah, probably the funniest part: they both have the same name lol.

Query: what about getting my buddy to play wingman and talk to the friend?

Just don't end up both dating them! Might get confusing when you're talking about two different people with the same name.

Ask for her number and/or e-mail pretending you may need to contact her about something school-related and take it from there.

And they wonder why we don't approach them.
