P.S. i am extremely shy, but all of us arent. please answer as soon as possible we've gone 13 years we need to know.

Xenolan answered Tuesday December 19 2006, 12:50 pm: It is seriously intimidating for a guy to approach a girl among a group of friends and ask her out or do anything else along those lines. Guys don't want to get shot down, and it's infinitely worse if it happens in front of witnesses. Also, they don't want the presence of your friends to influence your answer, either positively or negatively. So, if you want to be asked out, set yourself up so that he'll be able to talk to you in relative privacy. You don't have to meet in a dark alley or anything like that, just try to make it so he can catch you by yourself for a few minutes.
As far as how you can approach a guy, I can only tell you what would have worked on me. Smile at him for no particular reason, stare at him and let him catch you doing it, "accidentally" brush his hand when you walk by, that kind of thing. How he responds to stuff like this will give you some clues on whether he's interested.
Shyness is something you'll need to get over if you want to attract guys you want to be with. A shy, quiet, intimidated girl is not generally one that guys will approach, because they will assume you don't want to talk to them or date them. You need to be sufficiently outgoing so that they get the message, "I'm interested in meeting people. I have something to talk about. If you go out with me, I won't spend the entire evening being silent and nervous; instead, we'll have a good time." [ Xenolan's advice column | Ask Xenolan A Question ]
