A female United Kingdom age 36-40, anonymous writes:

Hi everyone.

Simple question- should i ask out a guy that i like or wait for him to ask me out? We are friends and a few of my friends say there is a chance he likes me from some of his behaviour.

I don't want to jeapordise the friendship but what if he's just as shy as me and nothing ever happens?

Please help!

Thank you. I will let you know how it goes. We spend a week on another placement before London and we're at different schools. Might be good for me to spend time away from him. Just have to not fall into the trap of over facebook messaging him.

Yes, I really do understand. I asked out 10 girls and they all said no. The 11th said yes. Be brave and talk to him.

Im absolutely terrified. but i guess i am just going to have to bite the bullet and do it aren't I? I've never had a relationship and other guys I've asked out rejected me so you can understand my nerves, right?

That has been known to work. But it may not. I think you need to be brave and just ask him face to face when you're sober. If he's not interested, your friendship doesn't have to end. Just remember that he is that. A friend! Be brave and ask.

Just thought I'd pop this idea by people- we're going to London on a school trip for a week in october. Reckon it would be safe to ask him out in a group and then try explaining things to him then. Or casually trying to kiss him after a few drinks. Then if things go wrong we can always blame drinking and still be friends.

Illithid agony auntDo it. Be casual, calm, ask him to go grab a bite somewhere, but don't think that you have to wait around for him to make the first move just because he's the guy.

there are meny ways to show a guy you like him if he does not respond it means he is not interested, I think if a guy is really interested in a girl he overcomes his shyness

Go for it, nothing more flattering than being asked out, if he says no the say its okay and mean it. Plenty more guys out there but like oldersister says keep it light and easy going and all will be well.

That would be a great idea if we didn't meet for coffee every morning already. It's sort of an arangment that we'll sit together early in the morning waiting for everyone else to arrive. That's one of the reasons my friends think he likes me.

But there's something I should mention- he has loads of girl mates so I'm not sure if he just sees me as another mate. Its hard teling with the blokes who are in touch with their feminine side!
