Newly Single Friend of a Family Member - What To Do?

[Genuine_Ghost]

Hi everyone.

 

I'll be short. Basically, there is a girl I know through my cousin who I have always been attracted to, and always felt there was a mutual connection with. She is literally my cousin's best friend. She recently has become single, and I would like to get to know her better and see what happens. I am sensitive to what my cousin thinks about this, and feel I should seek her approval/tell her first. Also, it might be a good idea to find out, through my cousin, whether she is interested before I potentially embarrass myself.

 

What do you think I should do? How can I approach this in the best way? Thanks for any response.

That is probably the easiest way to talk to a girl is through a mutual friend/family member. Just ask your cousin straight up, "Hey, So-So is a very fun and attractive person. I am interested in getting to know her more." And leave it at that. I am sure she will either say its a great idea, or a horrible one.
