I really like him and want to ask him out, I don't think waiting will help. How do I do it?

i think the nect time your chatting online, or face to face, try and hint to himyou like him, and this may give him the confidence to ask you out. Like saying when he asks how yare you, you could say "i'm in a bit of a problem...there's this boy i like, but i dont think he's going to ask me out because he's quite shy, ect" but make huge hints that its about him,or he might get the wrong idea, thinking you like someone else, and give up xD me,personally, i prefer it when the boys do the asking, but if he seems too shy, then go for i, if he likes you, anyway you ask him, he's bound to say yes :)
