Do guys like it when girls ask them to be their boyfriend?

So there's a couple of guys I've been interested in for awhile and I've seen them date all the wrong girls and get their heart broken plenty of times. However neither one has asked me out. I made a move toward one and he finally admitted that he would have dated me if I had told him that I liked him, but I thought guys can tell? I thought guys like to ask themselves when they're ready...Uugh I'm so confused as to if I should say anything to other guy too and if he'd say the same thing.
