Ok, this is a very long recap, so I'll try to get through it as quickly as possible.
A few months ago, my friend broke up with his girlfriend because of some issues they had been having. The situation escalated to extreme heights, and eventually I was brought in to act as the middle man. They would text me, and I would tell the person what they had said. Eventually, after a particularly bad time of this, his ex messaged me on Facebook to ask a few questions. We talked, and eventually the subject changed to just general life. We must have talked for at least a few hours.
This went on for a few days, with conversations going on for a few hours at the least each time. I also would text her, and she the same. My friend, however, was unaware of this, and assumed that I hated her as much as he did.
Finally, it all came down to an ultimatum. My friend was looking through my texts on my phone one night when we were hanging out, and he got really quiet all of a sudden. He left soon after, and I checked my phone to see that he had forwarded a few of my texts to himself. He was very angry, as was to be expected, and immediately asked her how she felt about me. She said she didn't really know me, but from what she knew she liked me too.
In the end, he calmed down, and he says that if anyone would be her next boyfriend, he'd want it to be me. I texted to her today, and she said that she'd be up for hanging out sometime next weekend.
Now, here's my problem. I have never talked to her in person. We've seen each other a few times and smiled at each other, but we've never been face to face and talked. I'm worried about how that might play out when we do hang out. Should I talk to her at school before the time? Also, where would be the best place to go given the cirumstances? Lastly, should I go alone, or should I bring a friend so it's a more casual thing? The only mutual friend we have in common is her ex, and I don't think that would go that well...
