Being too much of a friend to girls

I will be the first to say that as a girl, I refuse to ask out the guy.
I've done it a few times, and no matter how uncomfortable it is for you boys to do it, it's ten times as awkward for the girl to do the outright asking.

Also, I see that perhaps you are a musician? This explains a lot about the fact that you can't get up the nerve to ask a girl out...there are so many damned musician guys that are completely inept at asking out women in the music world (from a music major's perspective, that is). Even if a girl turns you down, chances are it will make her feel good about herself to be asked out. Unless she's a heinous bitch, I'm sure she won't put you down or make fun of you if she turns you down. And as somebody who has been asked out by a (very very close) friend, I can say that it didn't do anything to our relationship. I just explained why I didn't think we should be together, but that I still care about him and that was that.

I know how freaking hard it is to ask a girl out, but you need to do it. Sorry.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
