Try distracting yourself up to actually asking him. If it is to hard to ask, try a note or text message, not as good as in person but it gets it done and once you do it once it won't seem to scary anymore. Try just thinking in your mind you are just asking him to hang like you would one of your girlfriends, a casual thing. Good luck hope you can do it! (my friend once told me the worst thing that could happen is he says no way i would rather clean a toliet. i know you aren't afraid of what he would say but thinking of something funny sometimes helps.)

Yeah what you need to do is look your best ,and build the cofidence and think about what you are going to say to him before hand. Once you know what is going on SHOOT!! Ask him well I was wondering if you would do something with me?? If he says yes then be happy and jump up and down (not in front of him) lol... but if he says no thanxz then say ok, walk away and act like nothing really ever happened between the two of you. Being rejected takes a toll and makes you wanna cry but keep your kewl and someone will be YOUR prince charming, maybe not now but sometime soon!! Hope I helped!!

Unfortunately, I can only tell you that sometimes you have to just stop thinking about it so much. Bring it up casually instead of charging right to the point. If he didn't say "no" outright to your friend, that could be a good sign. Maybe he's just nervous and needs to hear it from you that you wanted to know if he would go to the thing.
It's fine to be scared, or nervous over something like this. If you really like him then you may just have to try and get up the courage to ask him out. Otherwise, you may miss the oppurtunity and have to question yourself about what COULD have happened.
I know I'm making it sound easy, but I know it's not. I'm just trying to help you see what could happen if you don't do something now.
