text: should i ask him out on a date for a change? theres this guy who ive known for a while and i kno that he likes me, but he hasn't asked me out yet even though he keeps suggesting we should hang out more. next time he "suggests", ask him straight up is he asking you on a date or not.  he might just be scared of asking you, and be seeking a hint from you whether you will say yes or not if he asks.  men hate rejection!
