We're both not exactly over our ex's but we're certainly not stuck on them, if you know what I mean.We've known each other for about three years now and we got a lot closer around April this year. He's asked me out a couple times but during those times, I wasn't ready for another relationship. He, of course, understood and after the second time asking me out, he stopped but I could tell he wanted to again. But he wanted a yes.He's still into me and now I feel ready for a new relationship and I need to know how to get him to ask me out again. If not, how can I ask him out without looking like an idiot. It really is nerve-wracking when you see the guy and your heart flutters everytime. He is a genuinely nice, awesome, intelligent, funny guy. We share a lot of the same views and I like him a lot.We have a lot of mutual friends and apparently they're waiting for us to get together as well. But how do I go about getting with him... finally?

Ask him out!!! You don't have to make it a "fancy" date, but just ask him if he wants to go do something, coffee, lunch, just something casual. Just be confident, the past is the past. "Hey Billy, do you have any plans tomorrow? No? Want to go to lunch with me?" It's not a big deal, trust me. After that, ball is in his court--and it will show you're still interested.
He asked you out twice and you declined, so he gave up. From what you said, it sounds like he still likes you, but he doesn't want to get rejected again.
