How tactless is this?

[SeriousSquirrel]

Right, so there's this girl I like. Had a class with her last year but I never got her number. I dont have any classes with her this year, but im good friends with one of her friends so I was thinking I'd work through her. The problem is, her friend had a huge crush on me before. She's moved on, but I feel bad about just using her(my friend). I dont have the patience to be super subtle about it but im nit sure about just saying ? hey, is your friend single? if so could you hook us up?? Namely because ive been in a similar situation.

(sorry about any poor punctuation. Using my new phone, still adjusting)

If she's moved on, I don't see the problem. I'd write more...but that's really all I've got to say, lol. Go get 'em, tiger. Good luck~

Fortune favours the bold.

Seconded, heck just walk up to the girl and ask for her number. No matter what happens you will know for sure whether she is single or hookupable. and thats a plus in and of itself

If she's really moved on, then why is it a problem to go through her?

If you have doubt, then just go directly to your crush.

Why don't you arrange for you and your friends to go out together, then when you see the girl you like you can just ask for the number yourself. The girl who likes you may have moved on, but she still might not be comfortable with the idea of you being with one of her friends. Depending on how close you two are, I would suggest talking to her about it, but it's not really clear how much she means to you.
