It's like I need to get to a certain level of trust before I can actually ask a girl out, tell them that I like them.

I read this and I thought I'd share with you a revelation I had.
I'm the same way when it comes to relationships. When it comes to a random fling, I don't really care, but if I really want to be in a steady relationship with a girl, I need that trust thing. I need to build up a sense of trust and friendship before I'd want to go ahead with a relationship.
The problem with this is that when this happens, you often get lumped in the friend zone, with little to no escape. My revelation was that my entire, I guess criteria for getting into a relationship is a nearly impossible hurdle. It's a catch-22. I need friendship before I can be comfortable in a relationship, but that leads to being stuck in the friend zone!
I have yet to "overcome" this problem. I don't see it as a problem, more of an impossibly high standard. I know that when I DO find a girl who is a good friend and is willing to make the jump with me, it will probably be absolutely amazing. I don't see why it wouldn't be.
Basically, just do what everyone else here has said. Be assertive, be more confident, lay down some hints, and just be a little more pushy towards it. Eventually, just tell her how you feel. It may work, it may not, but in the end you tried, and that's always better than not trying.
