He texts but doesn't ask me out?

[katt2]

he ask for my number and we text each other nearly every day , some of the texts are flirty and we tease each other. He asks me when i am going to come out for a run? but never on a date i can't read this guy and what to do... also i think he just broke up with his ex that he still talks too.

i did try and slip it in about him coming with me and he said " lol you trying ask me on date lol"
he also asked me about who i was seeing...

[GamerArtNerd]

Maybe you should just ask him out yourself. Girls always seem to wait around for the guy to chase them but guys like to be chased too believe it or not. I know it's hard to do but believe it or not, it's hard for guys to do too. It's the shyness, awkwardness, and fear of rejection. Guys have to deal with this every single time, while girls can just sit around waiting and wondering "why doesn't anyone ever ask me out?" Take some initiative sometimes girls, if you're interested, help us men out instead of waiting and wondering when HE is gonna make a move.

He's flirting like mad with you, and looking for some sign from you that his advances would be welcomed.

When he said " lol you trying ask me on date lol" did you reply with "No!" or something?
Did you seize the moment to flirt back, or shoot down any possibility that you might like him?

[katt2]

trust me i have given him all the sighs, just don't understand why he's holding back? ... i replied you wish lol... i don't know what to do

No, you haven't given all the signs. You've given signs that YOU think a guy should be able to pick up and understand. I can almost guarantee you that you haven't given any signs that would be seen and noticed and recognised by the average guy.

Most girls simply have no clue how low a guys perception threshold is, and so they always aim their so-called signals at a level simply invisible to guys.

Most girls cannot give a sign that a guy can give, without the nagging fear that she is somehow being "too obvious", even though when it comes to guys, there's simply no such thing as being too obvious.

Oh and by the way, responding "You wish" to his text basically says two things. 1) YOU know how he feels about you, and 2) YOU don't feel the same way.

[katt2]

well what should i do?

[Opinion Owner]

Flirt and be as obvious as you can bring yourself to be.

[MrTexan37]

OMG!!! here's a thought how about you just TELL HIM YOU LIKE HIM whoa! what a concept!!! I wish you ladies would quit with the whole "i sent him signals" thing and just open up and say hey i think your great lets date

[Opinion Owner]

There's no point in asking the impossible, Mr Texan. Girls can't do what they can't do.

[Marrryyyyy]

maybe he's waiting for you to make a move. ask him out!

[RCBIV]

I see a lot of girls like you wondering the exact same thing "Why doesn't he ask?" Well, the answer is he is most likely scared of rejection or something similar. The point is that he's scared/shy (maybe). So don't be afraid to ask him to go with you to lunch over the weekend or to meet you somewhere that seems rather neutral then see how he acts there. Also, flirt in person and talk in person more often. Flirting and talking over text is not as intimate as in person.

He's interested no one cares if you're single when they want to be friends they actually avoid the subject. Not telling you to throw yourself at him but give more than just tiny signals. Guys are a bit more timid today because women complain about guys wanting to be more than friends so we tread carefully

[Insomniac11]

Maybe you could just grow past your childlike insecurities and just ask him out on a date. I am so sick of all these questions like "How can I get him to ask me out?" or "Why won't he ask me out?", and general shit like that. Until you realize that women need to do their part in a relationship too, you will have a hard time succeeding in any relationship, intimate or non-intimate.

Maybe he is too busy on some other things, such as academics, internships, building networks so that it can be easier to get a job to stay in the United States.
Maybe he just does not have a car so it is inconvenient to hang out.
(Those above are based on my own experiences)
Or maybe he has a girlfriend, so you are just a back-up choice.
(That above is based on some guys I know)

If a guy flirts with you but doesn't ask you out, to the point where you ask him and he's so immature that he taunts you about asking him out and needs to put lol to mask the taunt... what do you think? sounds like he has absolutely zero balls, like I'm talking NEGATIVE balls, like he has minus 20 balls. F in loser

[ajdman92]

He could be afraid of your rejection, it is a lot of pressure on a guy.
If he did just break up with his ex, he probably wants to wait until a more respectful time before asking you out.

[Wannamaybehangout]

It seems every girl who likes a guy will never ask him out. Guys would love for it to do that. He clearly likes you so just ask him out on a date and problem solved

[Anonymous]

He likes you but he's afraid you don't like him back so he's asking like "Hey lets do this as friends!" To see if you will and if you do then he may ask you out but because you haven't he thinks you're not interested.

[Mackle]

Be blunt, as men we suck at picking up hints, a backhand followed by "i like you" is very effective.

[Viking31]

An arrow pointing to your crotch saying "welcome in" is a good sign too!

[answeryou]

probably he's still trying to understand you before he plans to take you out. Also, if he's just broke up, he needs some time, meanwhile try consoling him.

[Anonymous]

sounds like him asking you out for a run is what he has in mind for a casual first date. you should go out on that run with him.

[Eurostar550]

May I ask what's his job status like as it may be just he can't afford hope this helps 😊

[MrTexan37]

He clearly sees u as a friend

[StickStickity13]

You're not giving him any signs that you want that

[housej06]

he's working at it
