When I was your age (I'm twice that now), computers weren't really around much. We had them in school, but that was about it. No internet. If I was interested in a guy, we had to talk in person or on the phone. Chances of having the phone number were slim, which left in person. I learned that there is really no way that doesn't feel awkward. Doesn't matter if you are male or female. It is just hard to ask someone out. Perhaps it is fear of getting rejected or something. Anyway, the best thing I found is to just get it over with. Whether you are face to face, on the phone, or online, just ask him. Just blurt out "will you go out with me sometime?" This leaves the details open, so you aren't taking control (which can scare guys). Instead, you are letting him know your interest. Most guys will say yes. Then you can work out the details.
