    Hi

    Okay, there's a girl I know who I have fancied for a log time. I am 21 and she is 20 ad we know each other since primary school. Now when I say know each other, I mean know off each other more so than actually know each other well. We used to get on well when we were younger but as we got older we went our separate ways.

    She is kind of shy which is why I am nervous about asking her out. I worry if I do it the wrong way she might say no.

    Any advice?

    Thanks

    Just be asking her. If not maybe another will and how will you feel? Better to try and fail than not try.

    My advice.

    Invent a time machine and don't ask this question in after hours.

    Ask her out. What's the worst she will say? No? If she says no, at least you can move on and focus your attention on somebody else. And as the saying goes, if you're not in, you can't win ;)

    I'm a bit older than ye and maybe things have changed but would you wait until you meet her on a night out and chat her then? Not when you bananas drunk btw.
    The new way might be to Facebook her or whatever but that's just weird if you ask me! At least in a pub, if you not gettin the right kind of vibes, you can go on about your business without being embarrassed.
    Good luck!

    OP if you're nervous and the girl is shy, that's a recipe for disaster.

    Just ask her out and don't make a big song and dance about it. She might say no, and then again she might ravish you! :eek:


    Seriously though, don't build it up to be something it isn't, it's asking a girl out, not asking her to lend you a kidney or anything :)

    She might say no even if you do it the absolutely perfect way. But at least then you'll know. Just do it. If she's not interested, no big deal. There's 3.5 billion women in the world. It'll only be weird if you make it weird. Ask her, and if she's not interested, shrug you shoulders and say something along the lines of "ah well, can't blame me for trying, you're gorgeous, anyway, ... (and then chat away as normal)".

    Chat, smile at her, ask her pleasantly and without too much pressure.

    "The new Bond film is on at the Plaza this weekend, would you like to see it with me? And maybe we could have a drink afterwards. Unless you are busy, of course."

    Anything along those lines.

    Forget about any potential embarrassment if she says no!
    Think positive: if she says yes, woo hoo!!!
    If she says no, she should be flattered you asked (and if she's not, she's a wagon not worth caring about)

    For the love of god......

    Are you serious op?

    Just ask her, its not like you're in the friendship zone.

    Hey, what's the worst that can happen?

    Aww my best friend is a guy and I LOVE stories like this. Just be honest and direct. Ask her to the cinema and maybe a drink afterwards and than ye can chat too, and you'll get a sense when ye're chatting if she feels the same. Good luck x

    When I was 23 I reconnected with someone I knew as a teenager but had never been close to. We ended up really hitting it off and now we're getting married next month :)

    So run!

    Kidding, definitely do it.
