How do I ask a boy out?

If you are unsure if that person likes you, definitely don't jump straight to it. A lot of guys do not like that.. it comes off too straightforward and sometimes a little nerve-wrecking. I think you should start talking to him... then start hanging out with them. Don't obsessively talk to him but don't play hard to get... You need to do things in moderation to keep things balanced.. After you hang out for a while and he enjoys hanging out with you and wants to spend more time with you, then you can just ask him simply .."would you like to go out with me?". I hope this works. It definitely helps if you're a little more social because I'm shy, so i usually wait for guys to approach me. If your friend likes him too, definitely talk it out with your friend... you don't wanna lose her/him if they're a good friend. =) Make sure the guy treats you right and good luck<3
