My friends tell me it was a dare that his friends told him to do, but why did he ask me out a month ago? Was it a dare too?Help. Does he really like me? I like him but I don't want to ask him. I want him to ask first. Reply to this Question

 Three clues in your letter tell me that his asking you out was a serious question and not a dare: First, although his friends were laughing, he wasn't. If he was just having a lark and a bit of fun with you, he would have been giggling, too.Second: the stammering. Ever tried to fake stammering? It's not easy to do convincingly. Chances are, it was genuine nervousness which was caused by a fear that you were going to laugh at him for asking.Third: he's already asked you out once, and nobody's come running to you saying that time was a joke. Besides, if the first request had been a dare, why would he want to play the same gag on the same person a second time? Seems like the joke would be pretty old. I'd say the first time was genuine, then his friends heard about it and talked him into asking you again. From what you write, I think there's a good chance that he's serious. And hey, guess what? He's just asked you out. Twice. Now, if you want to go out with him, you'd better get back to him pretty quick and tell him so. Just say, "You remember when you asked me out the other day? Still want to go..?" Have fun, hon.
