I'm getting pretty sure that he likes me because we text all the time, stay together at school, etc. I know girls sometimes ask guys they like out, but I just don't want to do that unless I'm absolutely sure that he likes me, but is just to afraid to ask me out. Any ideas of how I could get him to ask me out sooner...thankss(:

Why can't you ask him? Even if you don't want to come right out and ask him to be your boyfriend, what's wrong with suggesting getting together to see some movie that you've both been looking forward to, or ask him to go to a party with you, or even just mention getting a bite to eat after school.

Ask him out as a friend. "Hey, do you want to go see this movie with me and "insert friends name here" it's a no pressure way for you two to get to know each other and you don't have to seem like you are asking him on a date. This way you can find out if he likes you.
You could also have a mutual friend of yours talk to him and ask him for you if he likes you and then tell you what he said.
Depends on the approach that you would like to take.

Or you could take a chance and ask him yourself. I know you said you don't want to unless you are sure he likes you. But one of you will have to make a move! It will probably be difficult for either one of you, if he is shy and you are uncertain. So if you get tired of waiting for him to ask you, why not go for it and ask him out yourself? Even if it turns out that he isn't interested in that way, at least you'll know.
Alternatively, you could let things carry on and see if they progress on their own. Maybe you just need more time to be sure. But like I said, if you get sick of waiting...I think it might be worth asking him!
