Why is he taking so long to ask me out?

[Anonymous]

This guy I've liked forever and I have been friends for years. I think he likes me, and in fact, I think he's liked me for a long time. (We're Juniors now and in 7th grade, he kissed me in the school play. It was the typical, "supposed to be stage kiss but they actually kiss you" scenario" Super awk at the time, (and horrible kiss) but now super cute to look back on) However, while things are slowly, SLOWLY, progressing (as in, he's always around me during off periods at school, texts me occasionally, I catch him staring, etc.), it's taking him FOREVER to ask me out. Why do boys take so long?

Sometimes waiting around isn't a good thing to do. Nothing might happen. A. He may be nervous. Or B. not interested. Try making a move to get things going, if it doesn't work move on. Good luck girl!

I hate to say this, but perhaps it's not meant to be. If a guy is interested, he'll try to make the first move.

Has it ever crossed your mind to make the first move?

honestly yes, but for some reason, with this one, I feel like it would be weird. Honestly I think he will, but it's taking him a while to work up to it. (he's one of those out going when with a lot of people, but actually quite shy and insecure kind of people) How can I be giving him the "I WILL NOT REJECT YOU" signs?

Maybe instead of asking to get together, and making that first move, you can tell him you like him. Like "your really cool" or something. Let him know that you like him back. Guys don't get subtle hints, so be sure you are clear. Why do you think it would be weird?

They want to make sure you're the right one. :)
