I have a crush on a friend of friend.

Ok so as of late, my friend named Crystal was tagged on multiple photos and was all over my homepage. Then I started to find out who was taking lots of photos of her and noticed started to think about having a crush on Jenny, the girl tagging her. I spent a while glancing her profile.

 

Crystal and Jenny became friends at the start of the frosh week in university. I found out about this because I compared both of them using a "See Friendship" link but changed my name to the Jenny's. They both have around 25 mutual friends between each other. I've also noticed that they are in fact pretty close university friends so they probably easily understand each other well.

 

So I looked over Jenny's profile and what caught my eyes were the softball batting stance she had. I am an amateur men's baseball player at a very low level so I thought why not try to look out for her as a date? Although I've never dated her before, I thought I might be able to try anyways. As I've stated here, I will not look out for an f-date or any physical attraction. I only liked her because of something we may have in common. Baseball and softball are very similar so it might be a good match. From what I've seen on her cover photo she plays the fastpitch style of softball so she might have had some baseball experience in the past.

 

Well the problem that separates me and her is the location. They both go to a university that is around 1h and 40 min away from where I live. Jenny is born in a town close to that university and probably lives there (from what I've seen on her profile). Since I'm almost done my first year of college, I feel like I may want to start thinking of finding a date over the summer.

 

Another major question I want to ask for her is what is her relationship status. I couldn't find that information in her profile.

 

But the major problem is not because of the following 2 reasons. Crystal is my only mutual friend of Jenny. Another big problem is back in my high school days, I rarely talked to Crystal. I've had her on Facebook since 2011 (end of grade 10). I remember sending a friend request at least 6-8 months before she accepted it because of the last name problems (there are 7 students in my graduation class/grade with my first name). She accepted my friend request at that time because she asked me what was my last name when I wrote on her yearbook that year and then accepted my request few hours later.

 

My interaction with Crystal is not very common. We were always clean towards each other but we just simply never talked often on both Facebook and real life. We don't even have each other's phone number. I just checked my friendship with her and I've noticed that I have never messaged her nor written anything on her wall during the tenure. This is a little bit of a major problem because since June 2013 (high school grad), I was deleted by 5 of my high school Facebook friends mostly because I rarely used Facebook back in high school. As of today, we have 126 Mutual friends. Now I use it often but don't often (if rarely) message my high school friends. Meanwhile in real life, I was able to find her in classes for only 2 out of the 4 years in high school. Well we did see each other early on when I was extremely shy but as grade 11 poored by, I was never able to find her in classes, though I did see her in halls sometimes. I also believe we (almost) never talked to each other in grade 12. Her birthday is coming in less than 2 weeks and I do have a routine of writing in all of my friend's walls but I'm hoping she doesn't delete me.

 

One last point I would like to make is I'm an Asian somewhat athletic boy, while Jenny is a white girl. Crystal is Asian too because we came from an Asian school. Now why am I writing this point? Although I really don't care at all about ethnicity, but I just think that Jenny might because her town to me looks like it's very less diverse.

 

Anyways, this may be long but thanks for reading it. I wanted to point out a lot of details because I don't really know what's the next step on approaching Jenny. I just want to know should I really talk to Crystal first about Jenny?
