Hi seddit, I had a really fun evening yesterday with a bunch of new friends. we stayed out till 330am, I think they all really liked me, and one guy I am becoming good buddies with who knows them all was also having a great time chilling with me.

At an early-ish point in the evening, I sort of saved one of the girls from a creep at a club. the guy was trying to sort of mildly grope her, and she was clearly not enjoying it. so I grabbed her hand and we had a drink (her first shot of whiskey in life!)

so over the course of the night, I didn't really focus on her per se, but her + my friend + I had a very pleasant time hanging out / chatting / etc. great time, and I want to see her again perhaps. she's very cute, and she's incredibly smart. she was also very interesting to chat with.

I don't have her # (would've been too awkward to ask since I was in a group of people I didn't know that well, and had been casually flirting with the group), and my buddy isn't exactly a close personal friend (I'm not 100% sure if he's going after her, for one ... and secondly, he's a work friend right now . though I could see us being good friends some day in the future)

what do you guys suggest? this guy is definitely VERy important for my work, so I want to at least make sure he's not interested in her. should I start there, and see what he's got to say??

give me advice reddit!! aaaaah. I need to ask him to introduce me to another dude. I'm thinking of writing this email (to him):

hey, reminder to introduce me to Mr Benford. also, so um um um whats up with Ayesha. are you interested in her? if not, is she single? she's really cute & funny & smart
