Take it from someone who has been right where you are standing; take a step back and seek professional assistance. There are people who can help.

There is nothing wrong with girls asking guys out; as others have told you, this is the 21st century! Might he reject you? Sure, but why should that humiliate you? If he takes pains to do so, then he is a jerk and not worth your time anyway.

However, waiting it out only means that you may lose your opportunity to someone with more intiative. The only way you will know for sure whether or not he will reject you is to try. In high school, there was a girl I knew that I always wanted to ask out, but was afraid to do so. I always felt that her social calendar was full and that she would have no interest in me.

It was only several years later, after high school, that I was chatting with her and mentioned this, and she said, “I wish you had asked. Everyone thought the same thing, and I spent many Friday and Saturday nights at home alone.”

Ask!
