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!

Hush, leave them alone, they're happy Wink

Just goes to show that "if he's not asking you out, he's just not that into you" stuff doesn't always hold true. Men get hesitant too.

Enjoy OP - I have loved reading your thread and I hope you are having an amazing time Grin

I am having an amazing time!

He already knew I've had issues with self image & confidence due to my past relationship and we're taking things slowly, but so far he's not recoiled in horror Wink

He's so cute, got to work today to find a packet of my very favorite sweets on my desk with a little note. I didn't even know he knew!

He's cooking me dinner on Thursday night, might be time for the bottle of something not too strong!

And I'm loving it! I already knew he was lovely but now I'm seeing a whole new level of lovely. Grin

He said he thought he'd totally blown it when I just laughed him off before & that he thought. he'd got totally the wrong end of the stick.
And that he was so relieved that I was still speaking to him the next day!
And he was worried I'd think he was too young. Like I was worrying he'd think I was too old.

Cute! Blush
