So, I’ll explain my title. There’s this girl that I met through friends that I think is chill and cute. I’m wanting to express interest without being too forward. I know that most advice on here is to essentially go balls to the wall and be forward with your intention, and for the most part I agree. What makes me hesitant here is that she’s a part of my friend’s social circle, and I’ve only hung out with her a couple of times. So, I’m not wanting to come across as too forward as to scare her off or make things uncomfortable within said social circle. But, I don’t want to appear as just a friend. So, my question here is: Is a middle ground possible, and if so, how is that best achieved?
