Question Posted Wednesday February 16 2005, 10:30 pm
I like this guy and he likes me, but we both are too shy to ask each other out. I have decided to make the move-how can I ask him out? When should I? What do I say!

For high school or beforehand, if you're both shy, the best way to do it is to ask them if they want to do something, hang out, whatever, without friends. You don't have to call it a "date"; it's just you two having fun. If you have to make this move, expect to have to make other moves when you're ready to step up the relationship further.
In college and past, if you know he likes you, just straight up ask him out; he likes you, so you KNOW he'll accept, there's no reason not to just go up and do it. Remember, you're shy mostly because you expect a refusal; if you know there won't be one, you should be able to screw up the courage to do so :x
If things get awkward because you're both shy, communicate! This is the biggest hurdle to a successful relationship between two shy people. You need to be totally open about what you're ready for, what you really want to do, what you have problems doing, what you fear, whatever...if you aren't, neither of you will know what the other is okay with, and you may never screw up the courage to do what both of you really want.

It's usually better to let a guy ask you out...even if he's too shy right now, if he really likes you, he'll get around to it! Guys HATE pressure--but you never know, this one may be the exception.
P.S. If you ARE going to ask him out, notes, messages on AIM or the phone, or asking through a friend are the WORST possible ways to do it. He should hear it from you--in person--even if you don't feel confident right now. You'll be fine! [ xsunshinexsmilesx's advice column | Ask xsunshinexsmilesx A Question ]

If you can't do it to his face theres always a note or aim and you can always have a friend go and set stuff up if you are that shy.
