Don't want to scare him off

    I'm early 20's. I recently met a friend of a friend and I really like him. He's early 20's too (slightly older) and it's not that I'm lacking in confidence, I would quite happily make "a move" or ask him out but the thing is that according to my friend who would be almost best friends with this boy it is olnly in the last few months (She has known him for almost 3 years) that he gave any inclination that he was interested in girls (or sex and relationships in general), his friends had considered him for all intents and purposes asexual (though he does make occasional ambiguous references to a relationship when he was in his teens).

    I do genuinely think he may like me as does my friend but it's his previous lack of interest and experience that frightens me. I don't want to scare him off and am coming to value him as a friend and don't want him to stop spending time with us but I really do like him and don't know what I should do. Any insight?

    Yes I think that's the right approach too. If he is that inexperienced then asking him out on a one-on-one basis may just scare the bejaysus out of him. Arrange a night out with a group of friends and flirt a bit with him to test the water/let him know you're interested - just keep it bright and breezy for now :)
