argh why must he be sooo.. dumb!

i know this guy and im sure he likes me but is just too shy. no offense to anyone here but he is a bit of a geek too and has never had a gf. today i tried to hint in every possible way that he ask for my number but he did nothing! whenever im not online he sends me messages asking where i am, saying he has been waiting for ages but he doesnt seem to get my hints!!! what am i to do??? ask for his first? well i have considered that but he is so proud and unromantic he may think im running after him. come to think of it he is messed up in the head altogether but i still adore him! someone tell me wat to do.

Here's a crazy thought: While you're waiting for him to ask you out, he's waiting for you to ask him out.

Wouldn't that be insane?!?!!1

Ask him out.
umm - maybe he's not ready yet --

You are going to have to be blunt with him and ask him yourself, even if he knows you like him he may not have the courage to ask you out despite probably really liking you.

Seize the moment.
Dear seriously you could be describing me. People like me (bit geeky, shy, good ppl :smile: etc) are the worst person to try and ask somone out. Seriously ask him out or your waiting til the next ice age - trust me he won't be too proud to expect. He dosn't know things like "Boys ask out Girls". You won't regret it I'm sure.:biggrin:

Some people just don't like to gamble, even though their chance of winning is 99.9%.

Idiots.

That's me :biggrin:

I basically knew this girl would say yes, but I still didn't ask out of fear of rejection. 2 years later and we talked over MSN and admittied we liked each other. She didn't ask me out because she felt wrong because she was the girl.
^^ Lemming.

Just ask him out! He likes you and he seems to be a strange freaky geek and therefore is probably so desperate that he'd go out with anything that has breasts.
Give up on him. This girl I knew since primary school always knew I liked her and she even made moves on me, yet I still shyed away. I never works when there's a shy person involved. :frown:

@ Anon 2: That's a bit harsh, just because the other guy has never had a gf and is a bit geek it doesn't mean that he doesnt have standards!

@ OP: As a representetive of the shy geeky genre that you describe, I would say you definitely need to be obvious. As p_scrub says, some guys just don't like to gamble; so I would say, go for it and have a great time!
If you know someone is shy, it's best to take the lead and ask first, lol.
forgot to add, shy people will almost never risk something like this (not like them/us), hence you're not going anywhere unless you tell him how you feel.

ok he is seriously weird. he's always sooo serious, he never flirts with me just stalks me. yesterday he proposed to "take me somewhere" and of course i was very shocked. i said yes straight away and that that would be great. this is where the courage ended. whenever i try to talk to him about love and relationships he says he has to go now. the one time that he didn say he has to go throughout my rant he only said uh huh and then changed the subject. the word love seems to have him crapping in his pants. :mad:
Love's a very serious word, though. It might be that it has nothing to do with him being shy.

make it stright to him.
Find him and grab him and say
"I know you love me, and I love you, SO you better ASK FOR MY NUMBER NOW!"

Give him some time for chrissakes...I think mentioning 'love' and 'relationships' to any guy 2 mins after they've asked you out would make them run a mile!! Just go out with him, don't mention the 'l' word or the 'r' word and take things as they come.

Do that. Of course you'll regret it once you've got over him, but really you should do that anyway.
Get blind drunk and seduce him. Yeah.
