Here's one: How to close a friend's roommate?

[izza]

I don't think anyone has posted about this before, but this has happened to me twice in the past month. I meet a HB, and it turns out I know her roommate and already have her home number (I know a lot of people).

It might sound stupid, but, what do you do in that situation? It would be ridiculous to ask for the number since I already have it. What do you recommend?

Should I just call and ask for the HB out of the blue? How do I make it clear that I want to date the HB?

Thank you in advance for your thoughts, SoSuave.

If you see the HB somewhere, talk to her and ask her if she wants to go out sometime. Try to set up the date right there and avoid conflict with her roommate.

That seems to me solid advice, to set up the date immediately.

Pook and AD were against setting up dates on the spot, preferring to test the bitty by asking for her phone #, which makes dating intent clear anyway.

But I you're right. Any other ideas by any chance?

the setting up on the spot works..

otherwise instead of saying whats ur number, just say "i've got your number cause i'm friends with *roommate* you mind if i give u a call?"

otherwise, call to speak to the roommate, and hope she answers.. have a little fluff talk and say, hey i'm pretty busy rightn now and i need to speak to *roommate* but lets catch up for a coffee on *xxx*day

Yo, great advice all. Thank you!

Since I barely care about one of the HBs, I just emailed the friend and was like "well since I know both of you, when are you going to invite me over for dinner?" hehe, gotta entertain yourself in life.
