How do guys...

Just tell him. He can't read your mind.

Guys are pretty black and white...just ask him out, casually and playfully. I don't think you can be too direct. You want to go out with him and he'll either want to go out with you or he won't! Planning and thinking about it is probably harder than actually doing it will be!
