this question is newb as fuck but I haven't been in this situation in years and am looking for guidance.
I met a girl (well, an early 40s cougar) at a friend's kid's birthday party awhile back. she was hot so I started a conversation, she had a kid with her but I couldn't tell if she was married so I didn't push it.
now 6 months later, this woman asked our mutual friend about me, hinting that she is looking for action. I am planning to get her number from my friend and call/text her saying something like "our friend said she thought we would get along, and I remember thinking you were strangely interesting at the party", something like that.
it's an odd situation because although she initiated it indirectly, I have to act as if I am really the one initiating so as to lead and not to make her feel weird about it. I'm looking for the smoothest way to get from the awkward initial communication to the first date.
any suggestions about techniques and/or general tone?
