How do I ask the friend I like if he has a girlfriend?
My friend is my age and we are becoming ever closer. Over the past couple months I have been thinking about him more and more. I'm in full-blown crush mode now. He is the greatest guy ever and he is also HOT. That is just a bonus; I normally don't go for hot guys. Whenever he is around, I get all giggly and bubbly, which I even think is weird. As horrible as it sounds, I have no clue if there is some girl I don't know about constantly on his mind. I don't want to creep him out by asking, but it's made me lose sleep... I want to know, but at the same time I'm scared of the answer One of my guy friends suggested he ask this guy if he has a girlfriend and to go with a group of us to the movies, but I'm afraid it would be weird for him to ask him both and I 'conviently' go to the movie. Another friend suggests flat out asking him then walking over to me to see his reaction. I have no clue what to do.
How should I ask out my friend?
He and I are really close and we spend every moment together laughing and having an amazing time. I recetly sent him a secret admirer flower from a school fund raiser, and when he asked if I was the one that sent it, I did in fact tell him. He waits for me after class and invites me to hang out with his friends (that I normally don't hang out with) at lunch. He and I share A LOT of opinions, (especially politics which is a big deal to both of our parents) but I'm a bit socially awkward and don't know how to ask out a guy. Any advice would be much appreciated.
