I come from a very small town where everyone has known everybody else since childhood...but that doesnt mean all of those people are in my contact list. I get defensive when people start spouting off without knowing the whole story which maybe I should have made clear.

xanthic agony auntCasually ask for his number on Facebook, then. Tell him you'd like to get in touch with him beyond the internet, and then do it. Asking someone out on a date through something as impersonal as Facebook isn't going to come across as genuine. It'll just make you look lazy, as if you couldn't be bothered to do more than click 'send'.

First of all, I don't have his number nor do I see him..that is why I said facebook. I could care less who sees what..it's the only contact we have and that's all I meant by that

Honeypie agony auntWell you can either SIT on your HANDS and WAIT for him to ask you out, which.. might never happen...

OR you can take a little CHARGE of your own life & destiny and ask him out..

Just because other people in my "neck of the woods" likes to wrestle gators... doesn't mean I have to get down in the mud.

Good luck!

No offence but you might wanna ask someone from your neck of the woods then, because 5 different people here from 4 different countries advised you to ask him out.

Old fashioned is fine but you won't find many guys with their own horse drawn carriage willing to throw their coats on puddles for you walk on, on facebook.

xanthic agony auntThere's no sense in waiting around to be asked when you're just as capable of asking him out. He may not even know you're interested!

Also, do NOT do this on Facebook. Use the phone.

Because I'm old fashioned, and that's how it's done in my neck of the woods....

I'm a guy, you ask him out.

Where do women get this notion that they have to get guys they like to ask them out, that they're somehow not supposed to be the one doing the asking?

Denise32 is wrong, it's not sometimes, it's always like it.

Denise32 agony auntWell, I'm not a guy, and I hope you'll hear from some of them.

I have a question for you: If you've known him since you were little, what's your hesitation about coming out and casually asking if he'd like to meet you sometime for coffee or lunch? Sometimes men like it if a girl invites them........just ask; don't make a big deal of it.

Good luck!

Why can't he ask you out in person? Or for that matter, why don't you ask him out in person? Facebook is pathetic - I take it you want all your 'friends' to see that you have been asked out??

I have a saying, it goes "Don't wait until the iron is hot to strike, instead make the iron hot by striking"

If you dont see what i mean, it means just ask him out, before he asks someone else out
