Q: How Do I Ask a Guy Out?

Hi everyone i`m hoping some of you can help me with a situation! I have liked a guy for a little while now however I don`t see him that often, in fact in a few months now! A year or so ago we kissed on a couple of occassions when out but no relationship became of it which didn`t bother me at the time.

Since then I was in a relationship and ended it and now hes popped into my mind again. My sister was out ans met him and she said he was asking for me and hoped to see me soon. I didn`t want to read too much into that though. I have really been hoping to see him when out but I haven`t so far. My problem is since I don`t see him much I feel that next time I do see him i`m going to have to make my move. I was brought up that girls don`t ask boys out but I figure that if I don`t see him much i`m going to have to.

I`m quite shy when it comes to these types of situations and I have no idea how to approach the subject. If he says no then c`est la vie but what do I say to him, is it too forward for a girl to ask a guy out? How will I know if he has a girlfriend?

Help!

Does he,when you see him,show interest in you like you do in him? If he does I don't think you have much to worry about.Just ask him if he would like to hang out with you,and if he says yes hang out.When you do,ask him if he has a girl or not,if he says yes just say "thats cool" but most likely if he says yes to chilling then he don't have a gf.Just be cool!

Oh,and there is nothing wrong with a girl asking a guy out,it's the millenium! : )

Thanks for your advice, I kind of get a feeling when we do meet there is a connection and I can see him looking but I convince myself hes just looking cos I have a spot on my face or something like that. But then I think to myself we have kissed before so he must like me a bit.

The other thing is I build myself up so much that when I do see him I just can`t do, I can`t think of the words to say. I guess i`ll just need to say it somehow!

Just ask.Its not like you have to see him all the time if he says no.And just think,there is a great chance he will say yes.

When I asked out my now boyfriend, I first mentioned that I really wanted to see a movie, and playfully asked him when he was gonna take me to see it. Sure enough, a week later, he says "so you still wanna go to the movies?"

you just have to give them a prod in the right direction. Maybe he likes you, and thinks ur not interested. Maybe he has the same mindset as you. Just be urself, and if he goes for it awesome, if not, no problem, you'll find another special guy out there. ^_^!

Just to let the girls, out there, know. I as a guy like it when a girl asks me out. I find it to be very flattering, and it makes me more excited to go out with a girl.

Re: How Do I Ask a Guy Out?

Yeah i'm shy too.. I say go for it if you really want to get it off your shoulders already.. It is going to be really akward when getting ready to ask him, your gonna freeze up and turn Embarassed

.. But you have to be strong and just pop the question! .. And if he says yes or no .. You asked it and it's done with in seconds, it will be like ripping off a band aid.. If he says no then completely change the subject like it doesn't bother you, if you don't know what to say be like okay.... So what did you do today how was your day blah blah.. Get things better again.. Just be strong Smile

everything will be off your shoulders once you do it
