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. Also for the mods, I posted this in advice but didn't get a response)

First things first, I have absolutely no idea why you are asking this in a forum populated mostly by hardcore computer nerds...we generally don't give great relationship advice.

OT: Just go for it. You have nothing to lose.

Very tactless. Go ask her out yourself at lunch or something.

Generally, if you have to ask if something is tactless, it's very much so.

like I said, I only know her so well and haven't spoken to her since the last school year. That wouldn't strike you as, well, odd?

I would use her. The only thing is that I would use a lot of tact. You don't just say, "Hey, ex-girlfriend! I have the hots for a friend of yours, gimme her number." Since you are apparently still friends with your ex, I really don't see how using her would be tactless. The relationship didn't work out; that's not the fault of the girl you like.

I'd go for it.
