Somewhat awkward
I need advice, surprise surprise.
The day of our wedding my step mother approaches me and tells me that her son's friend (her son just went in the navy) was relocated to the place where we are. So she said she gave this girl my phone number and told her to call me so we could hang out. I've never met this girl, i have no clue who she is. Apparently she's home sick and doesn't know anyone.
I ripped my step mom a new one because she gave out my info without telling me. But Said sure if she wants/needs someone I'm always down for meeting new people.
So my step mom messages me via facebook and asks me to add her and this girl so this girl can contact me. Well i did and it's been a while. I'm not sure if I should message her or what. What would I say? I just think it's such an awkward situation.
Re: Somewhat awkward
You could play this a couple of ways. It really just depends on how comfortable you feel.
1) You could reach out to her, because maybe she feels weird contacting you.
2) You could check her FB page to see if she seems busy, bored, upset, etc and if you get a good vibe, contact her.
3) Do nothing. She has your info, she could contact you.
HahaI love that she told you this on your wedding day, first of all.
Second of all, I don't think I'd message her. This girl is sort of being forced on you by your step mom it sounds like. Maybe your step mom is also forcing you on this girl.
Maybe what she's saying isn't true, the girl could have friends and stuff already, but maybe your step mom doesn't know, or they're not the sort of friends your step mom would like, etc., etc.
So yeah...I don't think I would contact her.
I am sure she feels just as awkward about contacting you... I am sure she feels like your step-mom is forcing you to be friends with her...
I would friend her on FB, and send her a quick note... If she responds, you see where it goes, if she doesn't, you did more than your fair share... :-)
This.
I'm sure she feels just as awkward .... but you never know, you might end up really liking her and become good friends.
This. I know I would feel just as awkward if I were her, maybe she feels like she's being pushed on you too.
