SO my friend is good friends with one of this girl i likes friends. He decides, without me even telling him that I liked her, that he was going to try to hook us up (completely respectful). Now her friend who he knows is also trying to hook us up and she told me that this girl really like me. I really like her too but when her friend asked me what I thought of her I said "that she is a really cool girl and I would like to get to know her better" (about the girl who likes me). I didnt want to seem desperate etc. However most of this is irrelevant to my questions.
I have known this girl for awhile now and we just talk briefly or say Hi to eachother. Her friend thinks we are a perfect match because we are really similar. I actually noticed that she seemed similar to me before all of this so I guess we really are, mostly in our behaviour. However they have made things really awkward trying to hook us up (especially my friend trying). I know there always is a bit of awkwardness but I want to find out ways to prevent it. Like for example my friend says last night "why dont you guys just kiss" when all four of us were standing there talking, and I just gave her a smile but she moved towards her friend. I know that they are trying to hook us up to bring them closer cause its fun for them and my friend likes her friend, but just awkward for us. Anyways this may sound like a dumb story but any suggestions?
