Orla2010: Why can't asking someone out be pain free?! I want to .... but I can't!!!
There's only one thing worse than a negative answer to your question and that's not knowing the answer at all, and it seems to me that you're already there...... So go ahead, ask him and either way you'll be better off.
Orla2010: It's just that if he says no I will have to face the torture of seeing him almost every day
But I reeeeeeeeeeeeally like him. Get a funny feeling in my tummy as soon as I hear his voice
It's ok to be afraid, But feel the fear and do it anyway. Everyone and I mean everyone( how're not so full of themselves) feels the "FEAR" in these situations... and thats fine... don't let that fear stop you from living your life... Trust me on this

To ask or not to ask, that is the question.
We humans are emotional creatures. We have an unlimited supply of fears. One of our biggest fear is the fear of rejection. That is why people post old photos of themselves, lie about their age, weight, height, income, job status, etc. It is because we are afraid that we will be rejected.
Unfortunately, various media outlets tell us what beauty is supposed to look like and it's usually a model thin female and a guy with a full head of hair and six pack abs. We can't all fit into those two packages.
Not trying to hijack your thread, but someone asked on another thread just why are so many dateable looking people on a dating site and not actually dating someone. It's usually because(and some of you would rather have your right arm chopped off than admit)the majority of people want eye candy. Oh, people say they want personality over looks because looks fade, etc., but the reality is that the guys want to show off their "model" girlfriend to the fellas. The ladies want to show off that "hunk" to their girlfriends.
So, to the OP...we can offer opinions, but it is ultimately up to you. Hopefully, you are either a ravishing 90lb ex-beauty queen and if you're not, hopefully, the guy in question is not shallow and will except you just the way you are. Good luck!!

Well, I'm definitely not a 90lb ex-beauty queen I guess we are all looking for someone that finds us ravishing
