How should I ask him ?

Well that's rather simple. all you would need to do is hang out more with him. and if you are sure of what you feel.then you'll know that you can be with him. and if you are sure of that. then you know you won't chicken out. so you don't really have to ask him out or anything. just be what you want to be with him. if you want to be his girlfriend then act as so. hold hands, kiss, and do other stuff that couples do. sadly I have no more advice on that. but I hope this helped a little. =]

For some reason, I want to suggest that you make a small booklet of coupons and give them to him, as a gift, maybe on his birthday or a holiday, like July 4th. In this booklet, have coupons that entitle him to your company for dinner at his choice of restaurant, dinner for two at your favorite restaurant, minigolf with you, free hugs, a shoulder or neck rub, a car wash (when you are both present), etc. Be creative and see how much you can do with things he likes, or you think you would enjoy doing with him. Then you have let him know you care and are interested without forcing him into a corner. You have even given him the opportunity to reach out, in a fun way. See what happens.

Finally, you now know what the man feels when we ask the women out. I suggest you ease into it if the guy is shy, he may say yes right away or he may dance around the question. If you haven't already, given him your phone number and say call me some time or simply invite him somewhere and see if he'll tag along. Don't ask the guy to dinner or else he may catch on right away that you are the one asking him out. You have to put it in the guy's head as if it were his idea to ask you out first otherwise he may say no or come up with an excuse to get out of it. He'll regret his actions later but at least you will have given him some insight that you like the guy. Of course when he does pull away that also means something else as in he may not be interested or worse he's already seeing someone else and just hasn't told you yet.

If you do the asking over the phone or by email, somehow we men catch on right away because we have time to think about what you are saying but if you do the asking in person, we'll be thinking that we have to give an answer right away.
