After my divorce many years ago, 2 women asked me out. I wanted to date the one, but she worked at the same company that my current girlfriend worked at. The other one was a friend of my current girlfriend. I was flattered by both offers to date. Any guy who feels threatened by it is probably insecure. I was somewhat insecure at the time because of my first wife leaving me, but not that bad.
As to how to ask them out - the same way that a guy askes you out. That is what they did. The one acked me to go to a concert with her and the other asked me to go to a playoff hockey game with her.

Men don't like to be chased by women. It takes away from their masculinity. If you genuinely like him, I wouldn't ask him out. If you like a guy you should wait for him to ask you. If he likes you, he WILL ask you out.
On the other hand, if you are sure he likes you, and you are super confident and you are very composed and are planning to ask him out in a very nonchalant way, just as friends, perhaps in a group or something, and you genuinely are not expecting anything to come of it, then go for it.
But if you are asking him out cause you like him and are hoping something may come of it, then I think you are making a big mistake.
