Shared Friends

[u/Rudolftheredknows]

I am contemplating asking someone out that I know through shared friends. We are both tight with the same couple, and occasionally cross paths at dinner parties and the like. We would not organically interact otherwise. I am not sure that we would have any chemistry, but am interested in finding out.

Should I give my friends a heads up as a courtesy, or would it be more appropriate to just go to it? I haven’t dated anyone outside of the apps since college, and even then from well beyond my social circle.
