A good looking girl asking you out is a very good way to boost a mans confidence, and help him get over his shyness.And if you are paying for it,I'm sure he'll jump at the chance.(He might even offer to pay.) Good Luck!

Just be friendly and honest. Also, I like to be spontaneous, like I never saw it coming, in other words, surprise him  Good Luck!!!

Well you brought it up...so to you it is a "problem". Id bet you have no girlfriend because your shy. Being shy is ok...letting it define you actions is letting it go to far. Make a deal w/yourself (or your shyness). When you want to move forward with somthing (or someone), Like: This is to important to me to pass-up and think about it no further, say hi, ask about THEM and give yourself a pause to take in how that person responds to you. Youll learn and get accustom to haveing nerves...they can turn to stainless steel if you keep learning and refining. As far as the outcome goes...your guess is as good as mine. They only thing you do is conduct yourself. You can start small or you can start BIG...how do you know what those are? The one that sends you  spinning...ThaTs the big one! Take on those and live through the outcome...youll become King. It takes time so pace yourself.

Guys are funny. \n\nPerhaps you're right and you need to take the initiative... but perhaps he's not prepared to have a significant other in his life due to a variety of reasons- Immaturity, past relationships gone bad- whatever the reason.\n\nI think that asking to hang out is a reasonable request- but if he's as painfully shy as you say- he might say no. This doesn't mean he doesn't like you- he's just too shy.\n\nAlso something to think about- If you're outgoing (I don't know if you are or not...)- then is a shy guy really the best match for you?\n\nAt anyrate- getting to know the guy better is good no matter what- you might find that he's just not the type for you- or it could lead to him feeling comfortable enough around you to finally ask you out.\n\nBest of Luck!

Just come to him and deliver these lines with a complete straight face:\n\n"Hey, [HIS NAME]!\n\nI've seen you around and [PAUSE] I was thinking what kind of guy you are. You look like a cool guy, but a little bit shy. Am I right?"\n\nNow, when he is trying to convince you he is not shy, ask him why he looked at you so many times but didn't ask you out.

I used to be shy, so I know where you are coming from.  You have to take the lead on this one.  You have to ask him out and everything because he won't.  A shy boy will not know what to say to you because he can't think of anything.  Just make him comfortable with you.

This will be difficult, but trust me, it will help you out. Walk up to him and simply say Hi to him. Chances are that he is wondering the same thing.

You are setting your own limitations.  Ask him out.  No one is out of your league, you are setting your value too low if you think that.  Life is priceless for everyone.  If he rejects you, he wasn't worth your time and I would reflect on his hollowness to uplift me. \n\nWhat you do is you purchase tickets to a baseball game, concert and invite him as though you have no one else to go with or tell him you thought about asking him before inviting any of your friends.  When I was single that's how I went out with many hot guys; to my surprise, they'd be interested in me at the end but I would always end up disappointed in them because of a personality flaw.

It depends on the guy, and the motivation for asking your question. If its a matter of 'is asking the guy the done thing?', then step up to the plate and ask him. We live in modern times and if he likes you at all, he will be flattered by being asked. Also remember he will probably more socially awkward than than you, since boys aren't particularly good communicators. \n\nIf you're nervous about asking him, talk through why you want to ask him with parents or a trusted older person so that you have a sounding board first. Try and get him when he is on his own, rather than asking him in front of his friends. Remember he is likely to be surprised by your question and boys aren't generally good communicators, so be prepared to take control.\n\nWhether he says yes or no, you've made a major step forward by being the master of your own destiny rather than going through life wondering about what-ifs.

Talk about favorite foods, gossip of any kind, Ask him questions about himself that way he will notice you have some interest with him. Try to make the conversations equally, but if he's a shy guy then you will talk most of the time but say things that he could be interested in to. Be yourself and have a good time!

first u sholdn't ask someone like a friend to ask him because he might want you to come ask him yourself because you might be playing a joke on him. Second wear someting comfortable you might go to the beach a resturant or even go cart racing.

If you know he has an interest that you share you can let him know that and take it from there.\n\nGuys generally don't need much encouragement if they like you. So don't try to hard, cause they might perceive you as easy.\n\nExample: He rides a bike. Let him know you would like to go for a ride. Or he is into fitness, if you are too then see if you can train together.

This is a very true cliche...  Be yourself.  \nLet the conversation lead itself.  Don't worry.  Worry makes you nervous.  Laugh and be funny.  Remember he is just as nervous as you, promise.  If not more.  Don't see this as the only shot, it will make you more nervous, assume you will be seeing him again soon for something fun to do.  Going to a theme park and not a mall is always a good idea.  Adrenaline is a great shy buster and the fun of the rides brings you closer by both sharing something.  Try to bring things into your conversation that you can have opinions on (not to heavy though) - maybe you have the same opinions and that is cool maybe you don't and then it stimulates the conversation.    \nHave fun, if things seem to be going a bit slow (I trust they won't) make it happen, be bold, force the fun if you have to - sometimes it acts as a catalyst to get the fun started.\nTry some meditation (really) here's how:  Lie down on your bed in quiet and visualize everything going perfectly on the day.  Do this for at least half an hour each day until the day.  Don't imagine anything going wrong.  If you do banish the though and rethink it going really well.  It works wonders.  Finally don't be too sensitive if something does go a little off key, roll over it like a steamroller and move on to something fun, don't focus on the small things.\n\nGood luck. ;-)
