Guys...Do you think you have to ask the girl out, or are you ok with a girl asking you out?

No guy is going to turn a girl down just because she asked him out.

It's not like it's offensive to us or anything, it is about as important to us as nail polish. Since you are under 18, I'll just tell you right now that means it's completely unimportant.

The only possible problem is sounding desperate, which is hard to do, much much harder than most women think.

I guess I should tell you how to not sound desperate, so quickly:
1. do not mention how long it's been since you've had sex
2. do not mention how much you need a boyfriend
3. do not mention how completely nervous you are
4. do not mention how much you worship us in your spare time
5. stay short (make your go-out-question not too long)
6. stay straight (say it like it's not big deal)

Anything remotely close to 'we should go out sometime' or 'want to go get some lunch' or 'this awesome movie came out, want to go see it' or 'I always thought you were really cool, we should totally do something' would be fine.

well it really depends on the guy.If you like him and tour sure that he likes you back then go ahead and ask him out it'll turn out fine.Good Luck!
