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!

i met a guy last year because he was in my science class ans friends with my friends. This year he is in my science class again and he sits right next to me. We talk during class and after class walking to his locker. We have some things in common and i really like him now. He is moving in January not far but another town. Anyways my friends want me to ask him out but i'm not sure wut to say or when to do it. If you have any suggestions that would help. Also the hardest part is that he isn't like most guys. He is not exactly emo but he loves black and skulls and he does free running and back flips. He is really cool and i found out he likes guitar hero like me. He listens to really liud music and mostly heavy metal. If you could please help me figure out wut to say that would be great.

Hey Tyra! I reall need some help! I'm in 9th grade and the guy I have a crush on is in 10th but I have one of my classes with him*my last period* He has kind of that bad boy attitude that I adore but at the same time scares me. My friend told him I liked him and told him that I wanted to know if he had a girlfriend, he told him to tell me to "keep guessing" Now, it's been a week and I'm tired of waiting, homecoming is soon, and I wanna make a move. How do I ask him out when he darts out of class before I do and is always with his friends (all guys) ? What do I say and how do I act??? Thank you!
 
Hey Tyra, I like this boy at my school the only thing is that I'm in 11th grade and he is in 10th. Were in a class together and he always sits next to me and we talk and stuff. I would like to ask him out but I am kinda scared that he would think it is weird having an older girl ask him out. Please help :) Thanks Alot, Kristina D. Kullberg
 
Hey! I'm 20 yrs old and I can't get a date or a boyfriend. I mean I like guys and I don't want to approach them because I'm scared of rejection. I mean I flirt with guys but I do see them doing anything about it. I'm also chubby but I don't think that matters because many girls who are chubby have boyfriends. I just want to know what am I doing wrong?
