ok, im a 17 yr old female, and i have been "seeing" this guy. not really dating, because he doesnt think he's "boyfriend material" i dont understand this, but i know he cares about me the same way i care about him.
i wrote him a 3 page long letter telling him how i felt. he told me he liked it and he reads it often.
we hang out alot (many times for 10 or more hours or untill like 1 am!) and every time, we hold hands and cuddle and hold each other close the whole time, even around our parents. my family loves him and his family thinks i am just the sweetest thing to walk the planet.
but...alwayz a but...he and i have dated before. and he ask me out both times. so now i think it is my turn to ask him out, to show him how much i care. but, i dont want to scare him off.
so i ask you guyz, does a girl askign a guy out kind of freak him out, or do they like it? and i also would like to know if anyone has any ideas what he meant by "i dont think i'm boyfriend material". please help me out!

SNAKE answered Thursday August 12 2004, 3:35 pm: ok well guys actullay find it better wen the girl asks them out (well most do) becuz they go thru stress getting up the courage 2 ask. i no i would prefer a girl ask me out. and wen he says not "boyfriend material" it just meens that hes not ready for that kind of commitment and he probably has other things goin on rite now and he wouldnt want it 2 interfere w/ the relationship. well hope i helped !!rate me!!

Mackenzie answered Thursday August 12 2004, 3:08 pm: Does it fReak a guy out when a giRl asks HIM out?? I suppose it just depends on the guy. some guys like Relationships to be old-fashioned, wheRe he gets the dooR foR heR, he asks heR out, he pays foR dinneR... but otheR guys make like a woman who is not afRaid to take chaRge and do whateveR it takes to get what she wants. I can't Really tell you if HE would be scaRed off oR not, since I don't know him, but it seems like the two of you have a gReat Relationship, and I saw you should definitely go foR it; ask HIM out!! Best wishes!! Hope I helped. =D [ Mackenzie's advice column | Ask Mackenzie A Question ]
-wizerwordz- answered Thursday August 12 2004, 3:08 pm: I really don't think a girl asking a guy out would be something to freak out over. Personally, I think that shows the girl cares and wants to go out with the guy and theres a better chance they will stay together longer, because I see a lot of girls asking for advice about what to do cuz they suddenly "don't like the guy anymore" or are just "getting bored."
A guy would usually think the girl might not like him, but that is an issue among EVREYONE.
Don't worry about it, just go for it. Ask him out.
LilCutePinkAngel answered Thursday August 12 2004, 3:00 pm: what he probably meant by saying "i don't think i'm boyfriend material" is that he doesn't want to be in a relationship or he seriously thinks he's not boyfriend material evn though it sounds to me like he is. go ahead and try to ask him out. u told him how you felt and he liked it. a lot of guys like it when the girls ask them out. so go ahead and ask him out.

EmbracedxRain answered Thursday August 12 2004, 2:49 pm: To a lot guys it defiantely shows a lot when your gonna make the move and ask them out, or even tell them how you feel first. It shows you care and that you definately want to be with them. As far as "i don't think i'm boyfriend material" he's probably afraid he is going to mess stuff up or something and doesn't want anyone hurt. But you should prolly try your luck at making the first move and see where things go =) hope it helps. *amber* [ EmbracedxRain's advice column | Ask EmbracedxRain A Question ]
StiLLwiShinG_1217 answered Thursday August 12 2004, 2:46 pm: That's so pretty.. I'm sorry, I had a moment.. yeah, my avice to u is to definitly ask him! Prior to the year 2000, it was considered rude to ask a guy out, now is understandable and very popular! Besides, yes, most boyd do like it if u don't ask them out of no where, that may scare them.. They're shy creatures ;-) haha
O, and about the "I'm not boyfriend material" thing, he thinks u are too good for him, or he might hurt you cuz he's not COMPLETELY sure of how he feels, maybe things could go wrong? But I assure u they won't. So here's my insight for the day: Don't push things, let love thrive, and it will stand strong if you were meant to be.
Tell how things go! :-)

OnErOxYcHiCkEz answered Thursday August 12 2004, 2:43 pm: If you both have so much in common, and cuddle and you both have powerful feelings for eachother, you two should go back out again, i think that you should ask him out this time and see what happens. :-) When he says that he doesn't think that he's boyfriend material, he's saying that he doesn't think that he would be a good boyfriend. I hoped I helped! [ OnErOxYcHiCkEz's advice column | Ask OnErOxYcHiCkEz A Question ]
