Being introduced to crush through a mutual friend?

Question - (13 June 2013) 1 Answers - (Newest, 13 June 2013)
A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

A month or so ago I was in a class for work that lasted all of about a week. In that class there was a particular guy I grew the biggest, most ridiculous crush on.

He was cute, funny, seemed like a lot of fun to be around.

And not one word was exchanged between us (well, a few words were and it was him asking outloud, "Who's catering for lunch?" to which I simply replied, "dunno...").

I'm not sure he even knows or remebers I exist and, to be honest, we are two totally different types people. I would consider myself the geeky quiet, gentle girl while on the other hand he seems like pure extrovert and is covered head to toe in tats which I personally love but I can just IMAGINE what all my small-town friends, co-workers, and family members would say.

In an ironic turn of events, it turns out that a male friend/co-worker of mine that attended the class KNOWS the crush and frequently goes to the gym and club with him. He thought it was funny and has told me he could introduce us or give him my number.

I hesitantly and maybe absentmindedly declined... in a perfect world we would be introduced and start dating, but this is not a perfect world. I personally think it would be weird and a bit creepy on my part if I were to ask my friend to introduce me to him... after all I don't know this guy at all and only thought he was (extremely) attractive. I would have never, ever, have set my eyes on him if it were not for that class.

Friend insists I should go for it, I think it would be awkward, but I would love to be with him if my brief observation of his personality is true. I just don't want to come across as a creep and fear rude rejection because I'm no where near his type and may not be what he finds attractive...

What do you think?

Maybe go about it in a casual way? For example if your friend does introduce you to each other, tell him not to say anything about you being interested in him. That way it won't be awkward, and you can talk to him, flirt with him etc without feeling creepy. Then you can see if you have any chemistry without it being like a 'set-up'. Good luck :)
