I'm to much of a coward to do things face to face. The one time I have asked someone out was with a hand made valentine's day card, which I delivered personally.
So you like a girl...

Now, I doubt that's true. You never know unless you try. The one girl you don't ask could be the one girl that is romantically interested in you, too.RAKtheUndead said:
On topic: When I'm interested in a guy... er, well, I'm rather shy, so I rarely do more than flirt a bit. Very subtle flirting, may I add. I'm pretty bad at it. Now, if I were to work up the guts to tell someone, though, I'd prefer to do it face-to-face: I've had guys ask me out via text, and it's always struck me as a little callow.
Yeah, I realised that as I thought of it but I followed through anyway. Pfft, you just need to build confidence, after all the worst thing that could happen is they say no and you never see them again. It's like every other stranger just with no added to it; and what's that? Two letters? Man, I shit more than that on a daily basis.OmniscientOstrich said:
Just stand up straight, shoulders back, head up, big loud voice, smile and "Hi, how are you". Bish, bash bosh, next thing you know you're wondering why you're wondering what happened to your pants and why you're wearing their's.
Face to face, make sure the mood is good, doesn't have to be really romantic but you have to catch her in a good mood. Then say it clear preferably by means of a compliment as well. If you're sincere enough then you've done all you can, it can suck but being rejected at that point is fine, at least you know your bounds with said girl. If she says yes, awesome you sir just got the girl 
Final tip if you like someone make it clear early in the relationship (not like 5 minutes after meeting but soon), the friend zone is too easy to fall into if you wait too long. I've had that shit twice because I pussied out on making my feelings clear early on and honestly I think it sucks more than just straight up rejection.
My current girlfriend did it all ass backwards and made the move on me, I'm not complaining though, best girlfriend I've had by far

I do nothing. I have liked a few girls in the past, but I never really told them that I liked them. A few weeks ago, a girl I had a crush on got into a relationship with some dude(don't know him)and I felt kind of bitter because for an entire year of class together, I never told her.
Also, I'm not as social as the "normal" teenager and I have a bit of a temper and a "I don't give a damn" attitude to boot. So if I did tell a girl I liked her, I probally wouldn't be too much fun for her.

Okay, that did make me laugh.The Unworthy Gentleman said:
Yeah, I suppose there is the knowledge that there's less repurcussions from approaching strangers (within context of course), there's still the nerves but maybe that's just a sign I need to drink/go out more. But yeah, it's the timing with people you see on a regular basis (I'm currently at Uni) that kind of phases me. With that I generally prefer to get to know someone a little first before diving in with the question, but I never know when's the right time, or if I'm reading there signals right. Maybe I just need to take more chances...
I usually meet a girl and then get to know her for like a month and then go for broke and just ask her out, its worked every time.
Face to face, just say I like her and ask if she wants to go out sometime. That was all it took for my first girlfriend, but we'd been friends for years before then, so that's kinda the standard for how I do this. The way I see it, if I have to act like anyone else to get a woman to be interested in me, then she's interested in the character and not me, so fuck that.
Girl or guy, if I like someone I keep my mouth shut about it (especially if it's a girl, girls are mean). It's probably the absolute worse course of action (or, rather, inaction), but I'm simply not confident enough at this point in my life to put myself out there like that. Also, I am a coward.
Don't drink, it'll hinder you in the long run; talk to people without being too drunk and you'll be far better in the confidence/fear of rejection department. Timing's a *****, though. I say you should toss it out the window and ask them out on a date when you're next alone, just stay away from calling it a date and you should be decent. If you get the let's just be friends talk then you gave it a shot and can approach that cutie at the bar you mentioned earlier with a clear conscience that you aren't hurting them or your relationship.OmniscientOstrich said:Okay, that did make me laugh.

You've gotta go with the face-to-face... just begin by making friends with them, then when the time is right, ask them out for lunch or dinner. This all depends on how old you are though, it's a little different for 15 year olds, vs 30 year olds...
I give it like 3-4 months tops of having this feeling before either eliminating it or asking if they feel same way if I have an inkling.
Not a damn thing.
Would I want to be friends? Sure, although that hasn't happened either. I'm just not dating material.

I'd go for face to face if I were you. It's never gone down well over text or Facebook for me (it's never gone down well face to face either, but it was much more preferable than text).
i'd love to be able to read body language, i believe i have shunned several girls unintentionally in the past for not being able to do so, and feel a little bad about it.ZeroMachine said:
my answer is that in most cases i'd be too scared to try. i sound like a puss i know, but a simple rejection would linger in my mind and come back to haunt me later on. i'd rather not get more twisted up than i normally am. hell, i still feel embarrassed over mis-correcting a fellow classmate in primary school about 7-8 years ago.
