Girls, stop wondering when that cute guy is going to ask you out -- just do it yourself!

Asking a guy out may sound like one ticket you won't be buying for the scary-go-round that is dating, but it's easy -- and more women are making the first move. So, here's how to do it!

Flirt
It's our greatest weapon -- utilize it! Laugh at his jokes, compliment his clothes, bat those beautiful eyes. Some guys love the attention, even if they won't admit it.

Be Direct
You could hold a sign over your head reading "Would you like to have dinner tonight?" and he still might say, "Huh?" Be as clear as you can, especially if you were pals beforehand.

Be Confident
You're unique, charming and beautiful inside and out -- what's not to love? Approach him knowing you've got something special -- and nothing to lose. If he doesn't see it, someone else will.

Find Common Ground
As you're showing off your infinite charm, get him to open up to you about his hobbies. If you find something in common (think movies, surfing or tennis), ask if he'd like to do it with you!

Hey! So I'm a senior in high school, I've never been asked out or asked anyone else out. I met this guy last week who is amazing and we had an immediate connection. He goes to another school, so I really want to ask him to prom. I have an idea, but I don't know if it's too soon to ask him to prom, or if I shouldn't ask him at all.....I'm going to hang out with him next weekend and I'm planning on asking him then but I'm so nervous!!! Is it weird or awkward that I'm asking him to a formal event even though I just met him?

I have a HUGE problem. I'm 13 years old and I have a really big crush on a guy (duh). We have been friends since 5th grade (I'm in 7th now) and we have everything in common. He is so cute, outgoing, sweet, and funny and this is the first time I like him even though we've known each other for awhile. Here is the problem: He likes me, but he won't ask me out! We had this thing where you send out candy canes holiday grams to your friends and people you like and he sent me one (he told my good friend that he was going to send one to the girl he likes), and he asked me to dance when we did dancing in gym! One of my other friends asked him if he was ever going to ask me out, and he said "Yes but after winter break." She said "She can't wait that long! I'll ask her out for you!" He was just like "But wait!-" I didn't answer, and she said yes for me! We went out for a day and then he asked me if we could just be friends... I said sure... What else was I going to do? He won't answer anybody now if they ask him if he likes me still! He gets all private and blushes or gets upset/sad. Does he still like me? Should I really ask him out? What should I do?!
 
I like this really cute guy that's in my grade and we're like really good friends. I met him in the begining of the school year and I think he might like me back but I don't know. I really want to ask him out but I don't know how and I'm really scared he'll say no. I've never asked a guy out before and never had a boyfriend. How do I ask him?!?!?!?!?!
