Can I ask a girl if she likes me?

[Anonymous]

Hi, I was wondering how can I ask a girl if she likes me? I want to tell her that simple question because I'm just being honest and I don't know a different way to ask that and I really like this girl. I know that she likes me and I like her too but I've never asked her before because I'm too scare to ask and im a very shy person when it comes to a girl I like

I mean yeah you can just come right out and ask that but at your age it is going to come off kinda weird to be honest. I am around the same age of you give or take so if someone just came up to me and said "Do you like me?" my first thought would be what are we in 9th grade still or something? Instead of doing that just ask if she would be interested in meeting for a drink, coffee, lunch, a walk... take your pick. This is not to say that you can't just plain ask her that but I think she is going to be off put by that versus being asked out to do something.

We're 3 years apart. I wish it was a easy question to ask. I have a hard time trying to think how to express it. I apologize I have it on anonymous. I just don't like when people are playing around in here or being mean to me

It's fine to go anonymous. That's what it is there for. You are supposed to feel comfortable asking questions

Thank you!

Asking 'do you like me' sounds insecure. It's better if you just say that YOU like HER, and ask her if she wants to go out for dinner.

I could if I had confident

Yep, just give it a shot. Most female friends are pretty kind if they’re not keen and if you know she likes you, she’ll probably say yes.

Okay, this kinda helps. Thanks!

You’re welcome

Technically… why not? But if she doesn’t it could be slightly awkward for you both.

I know. I'm not really smart when it comes to this because I never had a girlfriend before and I'm usually quiet
