Should I ask him out?

I really, really like a guy. We've known each other about a year now, both were in other relationships to begin with so initially nothing more than friends. Both now single.
We work together, see a fair bit of each other out of work & text lots too.
He's a good friend, we mess about & have such a laugh. There's definite flirting too, but I keep doubting myself and convincing myself I'm reading too much into it.
My last LTR was EA and has left me with little self confidence and although I have improved a lot I still find it difficult to actually believe it when someone shows an interest. I'm driving myself a bit insane with the does he/doesn't he like me thing!

A little while ago he tried to steer the conversation that way but like a fool I just laughed it off, mainly as it was a bit out of the blue but mostly because I thought he was joking around until I thought about it later Blush needless to say he's not broached the subject since.

Now I don't know what to do! I can't casually ask him for drinks or a meal etc as we already do this. HELP!

OP we need to know!!

SomeoneShakeMe · 26/11/2016 23:45

Aargh, sorry!!!! Busy weekend & this is my first chance to update...

So, had a lovely evening. Went for a meal, standard type thing for us, nothing fancy. Then had a few drinks at a cosy pub conveniently close to his house. I admitted I'd swooped in when he got asked out cos I like him & was jealous, and he admitted he'd only told me to make me jealous!

Apparently he's liked me for months but didn't think I'd ever be interested in him as more than friends.

Anyway...
Went back to his to "watch a film", much snogging occurred Grin

I've literally not stopped grinning like a cheshire cat all weekend Grin

I'm still really nervous though, he's 10 years younger than me and all hot & that, so I'm petrified that he'll be put off by my wobbly bits Blush
