Guys, What should I say to him to escalate things?

[OrdinaryDaniel]

In most cases, guys are the ones who should advance but if you really want to, girls can as well. If you really want to be subtle about it you could hint that you like him and want to go on dates. Or you can be more aggressive and just say it blatantly in his face you want to be a couple but you have to be certain he likes you back. I have met guys who flirt a lot but don't like the girls anyways. Some men are like that. If you know he likes you then I see no reason why he should not accept your advances.

If you guys are flirting heavily then say whatever you want to tell him you are ready to get down.

for me personally, when a woman tells me that she is tired of waiting to be with me that will turn me on more.

Yes its fine, bit maybe be more subtle in how you say it.
