What's the worst thing that can happen if you ask a guy out and he says no?

The worst that can happen is he simply says no. Go ahead and ask him out! I am a guy and I would love it if girls asked guys out sometimes. Don't believe all this B.S. you hear from other girls about guys loving the "chase" and needing to "win" the girl. Some of us our too busy to and shy to put up with all that embarrassment and humiliation. Take a chance. You may be letting a great guy slip away because if he is like me, he will probably never ask you out even if he is really into you!

If he says, no, you'll feel somewhat awkward and it might put a strain on the relationship for you. You might not be able to talk regularly with him like you do now. So, you need to be prepared for that. Are you willing to put the friendship at risk? You say you're not really friends, but you must be because you do talk on a regular basis and you've developed feelings for him. If you can handle his saying, no, then ask him. But then again, what makes you think he'll say, no? He could say, Yes! You won't know if you don't ask.

The worst thing that will happen is that he'll say no. Maybe a little bit of awkwardness immediately following the question, but thats about it. If you've known him for 12 years, the awkwardness will probably subside quickly.

go for it.

Why not let him ask you out? If you ask him and he says yes, you'll always wonder about him and if he really likes you. You'll question his every move and gesture, pick apart everything he says, always wondering "does this mean ..." If he asks you out, you'll know it's because he likes you and won't have to wonder. A lot of guys prefer the chase, want to know they've "won" a girl. (Go read "He's Just Not That Into You" - I did and I can tell you it's an eye opener!)

howdy do u understand wats the worst element? being 18 and not in any respect having a gf and not allowed to that's the worst element heavily ppl get rejected each and each of the time a minimum of ur allowed to particularly date

He'll tell everyone that you have a crush on him and that he turned you down and the whole school will feel sorry for you and make fun of you behind your back.

Don't ask out guys. I know it sounds like something your grandma would say, but there's a reason behind it. Guys have to be the one to pursue or it's not going to make them feel like they "got the prize" or "had the control" of the situation. They need that because the male ego has to feel stroked in order for them to thrive.

That's why guys should make the first move... save us poor girls the stress of figuring out what to say, lol

But yeah, really, the worst he can do is say no. And then that's the end of it.

The worst is he may have been thinking about asking you out, but since you took over and did it, he changed his mind and said no.

I agree with kitty!

Just go for it.. if it happens it happens if not.. keep talking by all means! No point losing a friend!

think about it...you like him. So what if he says no, that's a risk everyone takes when they ask somebody out. What about if you never ask him...what would you be missing out on then?
