There is this guy who said he would go out with me if he knew me better.  How do I go about doing this?

By talking with each other and by hanging out.  By doing stuff you guys enjoy you'll be able to learn things about each other you didn't know before.

I say you have the right idea. Or you can just tell the "boi" that you like him. Or you could try talking to him.

I would tell him that I would have to get to know him before we went on a date. It looks like you do know him so just say no if you don't want to go!

You have to ask yourself if you think he may be worth the effort of finding out just what his deal is. It might be like some of the others said and he may just be shy or nervous.  If you really like him step up and take charge, ask him out. If isnt worth a little effort then dont put in the effort. It's totally up to you.  Then again you could just tell him that if he wants a chance with you at all he is just gonna have to prove to you that he wants one.

u should give him an answer and try to start a conversation.If he asks you out dont  jump up and down and scream just give him a calm answer like sure or okay.and make sure u dont play hard to get because if hes a real man we wont come back.

Very very subtley......tell him that you would go out with him if her were interested in going out with you.\nSet parameters also.....hey, if this doesnt work out, lets make sure that we are still friends....you know what I mean.\nJust try to drop a subtle hint at it, and see if anything happens.  Or, just go for it and tell him that you have feelings for him.\nSometimes the BEST relationships are the ones where you start as "friends first"  :)\nGood luck darlin!

Just tell him you like him and that you want to go out. Take a chance, the worst that can happen is that he turns you down. Besides, you have to be open for the true love of your life to come by.

try arranging to 'run into him" kinda. find out someplace you know he might be and try to show up at the same time. " oh, hey. what are you up to, i know it's been a minute since i said what's up, but, um, what's up ?" just try to be confident, don't be too nervous or you'l fer sure slip on the dufus rag. good luck, man-and remeber this-no one is out of anyone's league. I don't know what you look like, and it doesn't even matter. if YOU believe in you, most everyone else will, too. If YOU do evrything you can to FEEL attractive, most people will think that you are, too.i hope you rope yer cowboy, hun. good luck.

well I think you should talk to him and get to know him before you decide to go out with him.

Since your best friend is good friends with him, maybe you could find ways to be around him more.  Be yourself, but make sure that you direct some comments his way!  If you two become closer friends, it will start to become more evident if you have things in common, and will be easier to transition into dating.  I hope it works out for the best!\nP.S.  I got tired of always waiting for guys to make the first move, so I started speaking out a little more, which was hard, because I'm a little shy.  But I had to make sure that they at least knew I was alive. In most cases, they did have an interest as well, which is good because it saved me the pain of rejection. Just don't throw yourself at him or act like someone you're not.

Forget courage... start talking to him... You don't have to come straight out and say "hey, You wanna go out on a date." or anything like that... just start up a conversation... about anything... say "Hello, How're ya doin? My name's ... " \nand always keep in your own head... \n"I really like this guy... I hope HE doesn't say anything stupid to mess this up"... this takes the pressure off of you... (in you're own head).. and places it on him... after all... you are HOPING he doesn't say anything stupid... so go from there...

The best thing to do is to pull him away from the crowd. It sounds like your sort of a passive person, so this could be harder than it sounds, but its the only way to get him alone. You wouldn't want to just walk up and start talking to him with those people around. Privacy is pretty crucial if you want to ask someone out for the first time.\n\nOn the other hand, you could send him an e-mail, those are pretty private. Before anything though, see if he has a girlfriend at the moment or not, and then ask if he wants to go out to a movie or something along those lines sometime.\n\nBest of luck to you.

i will be honest with you. the best person to go out with is that devil that you know about than this beautiful angel. Now you say you are good friends and i shouls assume this is based from true friendship and understanding. I would bet my money on him unless of course there is something so deficient about this guy which should cause you to back off.\nhowever, at the moment you are not ready and there is nothing as bad as a forced relationship it takes ages to get into gear and thats after some unneccessary qaubbles and these are not needed especially when you have something to loose like a good friendship.\nit would have to take tact and patience on both your parts to make things work here. You presenting your case for him to buy and him understanding you. The greater duty here is with you. Just make him understand afterll you are good friends, that you can't go out now. And don't put it in such a way as to hint to him that in future there may be hope. you are not ready and ready thats the bottom line. However, if you really believe that its an issue of readiness and not that you don't fancy the guy then at least leave the door an inch open and trust me without pointing it to him he will see it. At the time that you know you are ready then you can lead him like a dog on a leash.

Hey Confused, this is 2006. It is okay to talk to the guy. Tell him that you are really mad at manipulative people. And that you noticed him and want to know more about him.\n\nYou say you really like him. Well, you must know something about him, what he likes, etc. Ask him to tell you more about himself. Guys are suckers for that. Really. Sit there and listen. If he plays an instrument, read up on it. Ask him what his favorite band is. You know things like that. Ask his opinion about movies, team sports.  Find common interests.\n\nIf you want him to ask you out, he has to know who you are and find you approachable. When he finds out you are easy to talk with, guess what? He will feel better about asking you out. Play it cool. \n\nAnd killing yourself? Hey, that is forever. Never going to get that good looking guy that way. Hang around. Be interesting and interested. Develop yourself and your own interests. Being not as eager is also a good thing. Remember this, dogs and men chase what runs away.

The same way a boy does it:  Go up to him and say, "Would you like to go out with me?"  But, be prepared to be rejected.  It's what boys suffer all the time.  Embarassed?  Why?  Aren't you being honest with him?  If he rejects you, that's HIS loss...not yours!\n\nIf he does reject you, you don't want him, or you THINK you want him, but it's for the WRONG reasons!  Just face the fact that you made a bad choice, and ask yourself, "WHY him?"  The answer will be you discovering your TRUE love.  (Obviously, you chose him because getting him would satisfy some inner shortage you fell about yourself.  That's NOT "love".  Love yourself FIRST, and Mr. Perfect will find YOU!)

ummm... if you like him back then say "do you want to go out sometime?"
