make it sound like something normal and you really don't care abut his answer.\na friend can help you. You can tell him that you lost a bat and if you don't go out with him you will have to do something something you hate most or something like that.\n you will figure that out.

i was the same way you are. i liked this guy and i wanted to ask him out. i was afraid to because i was afraid of being rejected.the thing is girls arnt the only ones afriad of rejection. guys are also afraid of rejection.for all you know it he could like you back but is afriad that you dont like him, so he is afraid that you will reject him.just go for it. ask him out, you two could actually end up together at the end.rejection is going to happen to you eventually wether its rejection from a job,college, etc. so why not get over the fear and ask him. you only live once so make the best of it and take chances.

Just conquer your fears and go for it.\n\nAsk how he is doing and if he would like to hang out sometimes.

Why not.  You know what you want...go for it.  It's always better to start out as friends.  You already know him and he's comfortable with you.  Just do exactly what you've written.  Strike up the conversation and see where it goes, tell him that you would like to date him and see what happens.  Don't be afraid...if it isn't happening, you still have a friend in him.  Good Luck

Put your best foot forward and show that you have balls to ask him out. You'll be surprised that he will like your confidence and might follow you home. Make him feel what he would miss if he doesn't date you. So mentally prepare or rehearse before doing all this. All the best gurl!

He's probably too scared that you'll reject him. Let him know how you feel and see what happens!

Well, the advice I would give to myself if I had this problem(which i have had before) is to go for it! Tell him in person that you likr him and you hope he likes you to. I have alot of guy friends and they all come to me for advice on girls. They all say they hate to get notes from someones best friend asking them out. They love girls who are brave enough to ask them themselves! And if he says no then at least you know and you can try to move on!! Keep in touch and tell me hoe it goes. sammie_robison@yahoo.com

Well if you are both shy, then someone has to break the ice! Once the ice is broken and you like each other, then it will be history from there.  But sounds like your are going to have to get the nerve and go talk to him!  Just go up adn say Hi how ya doin or whatca up to?  Or find something that you need help with and ask him to help you.  That always makes a guy feel good when you NEED them!  But you have to break that ice or it will go no where!  But it sounds like you have a date coming on if you get the nerve!!!  Good luck and don't get cold feet!  Just do it!!  Or you might miss out and someone else is gonna sneak in and steal him away!

This guy probably really does like you but he most likely is afraid of being turned down. You can use the suttle approach and ask him out. Say something to him (privately) like: "If I say yes to a date, would you ask me out? If he says yes but doesn't follow through, respond by saying "well, go ahead! ask me out." It would of worked for me if I was given the chance.

Yes, go ahead and tell him now. Don't make him do the scariest thing in guy world - asking a girl out - only to be turned down. You can say "I am really glad that I have you as a friend, but I kinda get the feeling that you might want more. I love you and I don't want to hurt you, but I just don't feel anything but friendship for you."

there is nothing wrong with asking a guy out. from what you say you already suspect that due to his shyness he wont make the first move...so what have you got to lose by telling him how you feel and asking him out. you never know, he may just say yes. but you will only find out if you take the first step. good luck.

lol. since u guys have been friends for a long time. i dont know if he will ask u out. he may be too shy, or think that u see him as a brother. so if u really like him, u gota let him know or leave him clues. but seeing as how dumb us mens are. u might wanna go with "hey u busy tomorrow, wanna go on a date or something".

Sorry but this somehow sounds a little odd to me.\nHe seems to know that you're interested in him but still doesn't make a move?\nIs there something wrong with him? Saying that if she asks me out I would accept but then not doing the step to ask you out?\nI'm not into the notes thing but if your friends know and told him already, what's he waiting for??\nIf he's soooooooooo shy, do you think he's the right guy for you?\nWell, depending on your preferences about a man, of course...

Tell him that you like him, and want to go out. I always used to tell my crushes that I had crushes on them. I'm shy, just try it. It'll be better than not saying anything at all. Trust me, you don't want to miss the opprotunity. This might be the one for you!

If he wrote it was too bad you didn't go out, he so likes you.  Call him and see if he asks you out.  If you really do like him, go for it.  If he doesn't ask, see if you can get up the courage to ask him.  He'll probably say yes!!

he still wants to be able to talk to, but it looks like hes a different person. when hes in a big crowd your not the kinda person that he wants to be, its like 2 best friends in different crowds. one goes skater, one goes prep. they still like each other but they turn into two different people. what i would do is just come out and say it. rejection can be hard, but at least you'll know the truth if he says yes. all goes well and y'all give it a chance. if he says no than ask to be friends and leave it at that.

It's not wrong, if you like a guy, then go for it. I don't know what this guy's problem is, but just forget about him. You didn't scare him away by asking him out. I would never have the courage to ask a guy out. IF he was weirded out, then he's not good enough for you. If probably just wasn't interested, you can still keep an eye out for him, but don't get your hopes up. I would keep my eye out for someone else to ask out too (if I had the courage). I think it's good that you're not waiting for someone else to start your life. Go for it!
