@Chakramaster Me? Ask someone out? Never even attempted it. I may be able to write poetry and decent stories but I'm a blubbering idiot when it comes to talking to people. I tend to say too much, make the situation really awkward, and then we both just kind of walk away or I excuse myself from the situation. So no, I've never shown interest or even tried. I've expressed it though, and it's well known enough that I have girls who make fun of me because I don't have someone to go to prom with (since going stag is considered a guy only thing and going doe is a big social no no but I'm doing it anyway unless someone asks me in the next like ten days).
@HKim I mean, I get that guys are nervous and have trouble asking, that much I've understood from what I've seen. But I'm usually pretty good at detecting when someone likes someone else just by watching them, and my best friend is even better. And really, never once has either of us detected someone showing an interest in me. I don't know, maybe we just missed it but you'd think with it being well known that I want to date they'd at least be a little bit more inclined to express their feelings or something.
