Thanks April.
I offered directly to her to help him see all the good things in her (before reading this; the conversation took a major turn in that direction, it kind of just came out), which I know is an absolute danger zone. Fortunately, she said she’d be grateful if I were to get him to even talk to her, and is already grateful that I’m even trying.
As for him, well, he seemed to regret not talking to her. Revealed that he and she had a thing going for a while. However she, when I asked her about it, said he’d always talk about his other girlfriend and that going out with her just seemed (to her) like a break from his old girlfriend. Knowing this now, I’m starting to question his merit as a person, which isn’t my right to do, I know, but it just seems wrong.
Regardless of all this, I think I’ll follow your advice, wait for the opportunity to present itself, and ask her out. Things between us are a bit too casual to just throw the question out there, and just bluntly asking after she’s told me everything she has seems quite insensitive, so I think I’ll wait for the timing to feel right and ask.
Thanks again 😀
