throwaway because my main has been plauged by rl friends who know the weird shit I ask on reddit

i've been interested in a friend of mine, and I want to take it to the next level than just being friends. so I indirectly ask her out by asking if she would be down if we did something, since it's summer break. she asks if a mutual guy friend can come with us.

been on seddit for several years, but mainly due to social circumstances and me not making a genuine effort to put myself out there, i've still have yet to have a genuine romantic connection. My gut is telling me it's a shit test but my track record says otherwise. I don't know what to think.
