So I’m bi but I haven’t come out to many people and I’ve only dated guys. I recently met a girl that I really like. We talked a lot in the first couple weeks after getting to know each other but we have been talking less and less lately. So what I think the problem is that she is stuck on her ex. They recently broke up after being off and on and she has mentioned a couple of times that she’s trying not to make her ex mad. We facetimed one night until the next morning and she said not to mention it to her ex because she was afraid her ex wouldn’t like it. We hung out one night and the ex called asking where she was, who she was with, and what she was doing.

Anyway. Im a very shy and introverted person with a lot of anxiety around talking to people. I’m looking for advice on asking her to hang out casually and eventually telling her I like her. I don’t want to make things weird. I know that she may not reciprocate my feelings and am okay with being friends but I do want to put myself out there.

Btw she knows I’m bi and she is gay/bi. I’m a little unclear on that but I do know she likes girls.

Edit: It’s her ex girlfriend bc I didn’t make that clear. Also we’re in high school. We have classes together which is how we met and some of our continuous contact. Her ex is also in one of our classes and I noticed she got cold to me after knowing that we hung out. I am okay with just being friends and I know now is not the right time to tell her my feelings but I would like to tell her eventually.
