So...I'm fifteen (female), and I have had a crush on this guy for a while. A couple days ago, I finally found the balls to go up and ask him out. Kind of. It was more of a confession than a question. So here's what I said: "I just wanted to tell you that I totally wouldn't refuse if you asked me out. Or, you could always say yes when I ask you to go ice skating with me." And then he said "okay" and he smiled at me.
At first, I thought that was a yes, but the next day, he practically ignored me (I think it's because he was with his friends), and when he wasn't with his friends, he kept giving me these anxious/awkward looks (they practically screamed "come talk to me", but I can't be sure). I don't know what to do next. Give him my number? Ask him out again? Give him a time and place for a date? All I know is that I'm not going to wimp out again...I'm going up as soon as I get back to school.
Any advice for when I do?

MoRuthless answered Sunday February 17 2013, 12:33 am: Guys love when a girl is straight forward. Shy/awkward is not attractive. Just ask him for his number and text him for a normal conversation about anything. Just don't talk about dating or anything at first. Talk about school, friends, family, anything. If he messages back quickly each time. That means he is interested and paying very close attention. What you did was put him in an awkward situation and he hasn't dealt with anything like that so he didn't know what to say. That's not a bad thing. That made you more interesting to him. Try to talk to him on a one on one basis. Then you don't have to deal with the male split personality thing between friends and girls. So long story short. Get the digits-> text->keep him entertained. Don't try too hard and end up looking desperate. Good luck. [ MoRuthless's advice column | Ask MoRuthless A Question ]

If you like him just ask him to hang out sometime. You could say " hey there's this cool movie playing and I wabted to know if maybe you would like to see it with me?" Just be casual. You never want to come across as needy or implying. I personally would not of said " I would totally say yes if you asked me out".. that is imply and i t is not exactly catchy. So yes, next time just ask him to a movie or if maybe he wants to grab lunch. [ Xui's advice column | Ask Xui A Question ]
