I want to ask him out but everyone says I should let the man be the aggressor. What should I do?
So I like this guy at a coffee shop I go to. We've been friends for a few months and I've had a crush on him for a while. He's rather shy and soft spoken so I don't know if he likes me or not. My family was always about how the guy should be the aggressor and the girl asking a guy out just comes off as being needy. Is this true? I know I'm not a needy person, I just don't feel like wasting my time hoping he'll ask me out if he isn't interested. Are the opinions on this whole thing based on society's way of thinking or actually based on good facts? Because I have a rather aggressive personality and it's just who I am.

It's all individual preference... Waiting for a man to do everything is an old-fashioned way of thinking. Women have fought for equality, and that means they should also be allowed to ask a guy out if they want to. If you like the guy, then just go for it... Like you said, you're better off going for it than waiting years for him to (possibly) ask you out.
Good luck.

Hi, Have you suggested that the two of you do something together ? This is like asking him out but putting an idea in his head and giving him the chance and opportunity to do some of the asking. If this does not work, I guess you could do the asking or saying than such and such event is coming up and you wish you had someone to go with. Or of course you could say you need a date to go to the social event that is coming up and see if he would be interested in going to it with you.

Just ask him to a movie or something neutral like that. If the two of you are friends, it shouldn't be hard to ask him to spend time with you outside the coffee shop... good luck.

its better to now realize this guy is probably not interested in you. as he would have asked you out or suggested something that would encourage you. its not a good idea to ask him out.
