What are some reasons why a single guy who you know likes you won't ask you out? I'm asking because there is a guy from work who has liked me since before Xmas. He knows I like him back yet he hasn't asked me out. Do you think he's waiting for me to make the first move?

If you have told him straight out that you liked him and he still hasn't made a move, he could be shy. If you know he isn't shy, he could be waiting to see if you actually mean what you said about liking him back. It's possible that he isn't making a move on you because he's been used by some girl that claimed to like him before.
My suggestion is to just make the move yourself. If he likes you back already, and he's single, you have nothing to worry about.

xlivexyourxlifex answered Friday June 15 2007, 2:55 pm: more than likely he is just really shy and even though he knows that you like him he still may be a little nervous. sometimes he may just need the push to go out. invite him to somewhere like the movies or something and see what happens. hoped this helps =] [ xlivexyourxlifex's advice column | Ask xlivexyourxlifex A Question ]
