Need advice on asking a guy out....?

Okay here it goes. I have a major crush on my hairstylist...and no he's not gay.



I've been seeing him once a month now for about 9 months and just lately I feel that we've really had a good time talking, joking and making good conversation.



I believe he is single. He's the sweetest guy not to mention so shy. I've asked guys out in the past and has always blown up in my face cause they think I want more.



All my intentions are is to get to know someone, go out for drinks, walks, chats, etc....



I feel that this guy and I have enough in common but I'm very scared of being rejected and looking desperate.



How would I go about asking without looking stupid or needy? I really don't know if he feels the same because I am a customer of his. It's not like we work together or anything like that.



I really like this guy but my biggest fear is looking stupid and lonely. I've thought about sending flowers and not stating who it's from but maybe that's going over board.

I would ask him out, but not as a date, don't even mention the date word. Hopefully the conversation works in your favor, and you can say, oh well this restaurant has really good sushi or whatever and you should meet up with us sometime. I'm kind of old fashioned when it comes to that, I've tried asking guys out and it doesn't work because it just doesn't flow with nature. Men like to hunt the women, just how it is.
Reply:just be as simple as going to the park it not direct as i wanna marry you but on a first date it awesome, you guys can just talk and maybe walk around if he is not interested in you, you can be just like don't worry i treat you as a good friend. And don;t worry about feeling stupid somone has to make the first move and let just say flowers and chocolates may scare your crush away...it too direct you know what i mean. Go with the flow once he gets to know you he will send YOU the chocolates and flowers.
Reply:Unsigned flowers is a wimpy move.



Invite him to grab coffee/tea some time. No pressure. Good place for talking (or people watching if the conversation starts to drag).

Reply:uh, you SURE hes not gay. cause thatd be more embarresing then being turned down ....
Reply:i think that u should ask him out but carefully, i dont know, invite him to go somewhere with some common friends, make it look casual and not a calculated situation, good luck!!!!!!!!!!
Reply:Just ask him if he wants to do something sometime, go from there.
