How does a shy uni girl get her crush to ask her out?

I'm a shy and inexperienced girl and I need advice on how to get my crush to ask me out on a date

To give you some background he actually asked to see me before we broke up for the summer holidays after exams but because I'm so oblivious to male attention I didn't really realise and just laughed what he was saying off and told him if he wanted to contact me he should do so through mutual friends (rather than me giving him my number, doh!). I didn't realise at the time but he was actually always sitting near me, chatting with me, giving me hugs etc. but because I've never been around guys much I didn't know what it meant.

Can I redeem this? I'd really like to get to know him alone outside of the group setting. I know it's probably my turn to bite the bullet now but I'm scared he would have moved on over the summer.

What should I do?
How can I give him my number now without seeming forward? I'm kicking myself that I had my chance and blew it!

you ask them. PEOPLE AREN'T ****ING MIND READERS

if you're not going to accept the "ask him" advice then you're a lost cause - you know what to do, you just want an easier time getting the result you want. either you can get the result (at least I hope for you) the hard way, or you can potentially get no good result at all. guys and girls can *both* be shy - don't assume men are always going to be fearless.

Yeah; you rejected him. Time to be 'forward'.

Least of all after being rejected.

I know I feel so bad I have to make this up to him!

omg op just ask him it's pretty obvious he likes you lol. You get his number. Then text him to go out with you somewhere. Being forward often works really well. I know it would for me. I get bored of people real fast if they don't open up soon enough to me and shy people never do because they are so reserved. I won't chase people, it's a waste of my time. But if someone comes on to me, I'll start talking to them a lot and generally things happen faster so it goes on a lot better!

I know I hate been shy makes everything so difficult. I don't think it's just that I'm shy I totally missed all his queues at the time. Let's hope he will forgive me! Yes I need to just go for it get what I want now )))

No you are right he already took the risk so the next step is up to me now!! It's not going to be easy and I might look like an idiot but it's the least I can do...

Ask him out. DO IT.

Uhm ask him for a dick pic on snapchat??????
