So the two of you have been exchanging furtive glances for several days now and yet you've never spoken to each other.
When he's in the same group the both of you pretend that the other doesn't exist.
Still the both of you know that he likes you.
So what gives? "Will he ever ask me out?" First of all, are you sure that he likes you or are you just imagining things? Try and find out covertly if you wish.
For all you know he doesn't and you really were imagining things Not all men are born equal.
Some have more confidence than others.
But having a couple of insecurities doesn't make them a lesser man.
This said, one of the things that all men fear is rejection.
It's part of their machismo or alpha male mentality.
So instead of waiting for the moon to turn blue or for the Great Pumpkin to come out you may try one of these on for size: • Welcome to the 21st century.
This ain't the 1900s and yes by the way, the cows have been milked and taken to pasture.
If you like this guy let him know.
If you're a bit shy about it then do it subtly.
Invite him out to compare notes over coffee or a drink.
While there, put out hints of how you feel about him.
Alcohol is one of the best lubricants.
It relaxes minds, tongues and inhibitions.
By the second round, he'll already be planning to ask you out.
After the third or fourth he would have already planned on where to take you.
As I mentioned earlier, guys really are scared of being rejected especially by someone they like.
So if you like him, try helping him in that area by letting him know that the feeling is mutual.
• Hint, hint hint.
Lets' face it.
Men aren't mind readers.
And if only they were, the world would be a better place.
Problem is that very few men think in the abstract.
When you put a painting in front of them, most men would look at it say it's nice then look at the frame and admire the craftsmanship.
More attention would be put on it than to the painting itself.
This is the main reason why more guys love a girl who is direct to the point.
Some in fact prefer the more forward types.
For the reserved kind f gal, she would not dare ask the guy out on a date.
What she fears most is being looked on or coming over as desperate.
So this being the case, what to do? Imply.
As the above goes, drop subtle hints.
Say that two common friends are going out or seeing each other.
Or that there's a nice movie or concert in town.
If he bites on the first throw great.
Since he did ask it's now okay to ask if the two of you should have dinner first or drinks afterward or both.
Now you can set the tone of the date.
But that is another topic.
