I said that we should get to know each other more first

He might be giving you space to think. However, be careful, he could just want to be in a relationship you just to say he has a girlfriend which could explain why he hasn't spoken to you for two days. Some people just like to have the title. I think you're right to go on a few dates or hang out first, make sure he's decent.

How would you hint for him to ask me out on a date or to hang out. I’m too awkward to ask myself and I would never hit the send button until an hour later. I think he’s really sweet, one time we were walking to Tesco and he noticed I was cold and offered me his coat but I didn’t take it because I felt that it would be real awkward and he was still like but you seem really cold are you sure and I was like I’m sure. I’m just such an awkward child urgh.

Haha I did the exact some thing when I got offered a coat because I forgot to bring a jumper . I would just ask him to hang out yourself. No point hinting at it. Think of something you want to do, like go see a movie for example and just say it. How old are you two anyway?
