how do you ask a guy out?

im going on a band trip next weekend, and the guy i like happens to be going with. iv liked him for like three years, and i know that he knows i like him, but i dont know if he likes me. iv finally decided to take the risk and ask him out on the band trip, but iv never asked a guy out, or even had a boyfriend before. so i dont really know what to do.

Try “I don’t know if you already know but i like you, a lot…” [wait for their response] “do you like me?”. [if yes] “would you like to have a date ?”

IDK something along those lines just coming off not aggressively or softly just in the middle.

I agree with that, and must say it’s impressive to hear you (a woman) admit that she wants to ask a guy out, you don’t hear that a lot, hell, I wish I heard it. Being the age I am, and in the era I did, it wasn’t the “norm” or perhaps even “socially acceptable” for a girl to ask a guy out.

I’d also like to point out there’s the other approach as well. What I mean is instead of you asking him directly, or rather telling him how you feel (esp. if it’s the fear of rejection that’s holding you back?) try first just asking him how he feels about you!

That way, should you decide to go that route, you’ll get your answer, without exposing yourself, or being as vulnarable.

Just a thought.

As a guy, I recommend you just go straight to the point. Overdone and drawn out tends to be annoying and beating around the bush is just worse. If you just ask him directly, “Hey, I was wondering if you’d like to go out…” and add whatever else you feel is necessary, that’s all you need. Guys like straight forward, and as long as you look decent you’ll get a fair chance. But do yourself a favor and make sure he’s single first.
