What would be a reason a guy would like a girl and not ask her out? THANKS!
And what if she was friendly and wouldn't bite their head off if they asked.....

Most probably coz the guy is shy and afraid of rejection. If you like this guy then maybe u can drop him some hints to make it easier for him :)

There may be a number of reasons why a guy would like a girl but would not ask her out...
1. He's too shy (a lot of people already posted that as part of their answers to your question). He just doesn't know what to do or say to ask you out.
2. The guy might be seeing someone (someone posted this as an answer to your question). Maybe he is seeing a bunch of different girls and hasn't asked you out yet because he wants to see what they have to offer him.
3. Could it be that he is afraid of hearing that horrible 2 letter word "NO"? That is a very big possibility (and another person also answered this). Guys do get scared of asking girls out, especially if they dont know how the girl feels about them.
4. The guy has a girlfriend he's been on and off with for two years (or more) and doesn't know if the relationship would last or not so he doesn't want to ask you out because that would be kind of cheating, though guys do that anyway.
5. Maybe the guy is just a player or a tease. He likes to tease girls to make them think he likes them and wants to go out with them when in reality he doesn't want to or he is a player and knows that you're not those types of girls so he doesn't want to ask you out.
6. He probably just ended a very bad relationship with someone and doesn't really want to date right now even though he may be interested in you.
7. He might have a couple of kids from a couple of different women (or from one woman) and wouldn't know how you might react to it if you found out after the date. So that could be another reason why he isn't asking you out.
In my opinion, if a guy likes you but doesn't ask you out because of any of the circumstances listed above (or others that we may not even know about), then it's better to either ask him out yourself and see what he says (of course girls can ask guys out.....it's the 21st century) or move on and find someone else.
Hope this helps!

Some guys are beyond shy and are more like - totally NOT aggressive. They kind of go around like - whatever happens happens. So they just don't take initiative to do much of anything. They are just waiting for some more aggressive woman to notice them and make the first move. I know that's a bit pathetic - but some of them are like that. So, that being said - you have to be careful - what if he expects you to pay for things - always tell you where you're going together, etc, etc.. - you may or may not enjoy a situation like this in the long term. A great guy to have hang out with probably - very flexible - not going to tell you what to do - but could become aggravating later on - not taking initiative on bigger concerns as your relationship becomes more serious and not thinking of the consequences of whatever you choose to do.

even if she is friendly cause if a friendly girl says no, she makes it take longer. An uncomfortable look comes over her face and she might explain why she won't go out with you. Then you gotta sit there and wait for a 5 minute explanation instead of having a quick no, I am not interested. Also a guy wouldn't ask her out because of fear of rejection and shyness

I like so many girls. And would totally give any of them a chance. And I do ask some of them out. But after a few rejections, it gets tougher. And unless I really like the girl, ill just flirt. Kinda in hopes shell say something. And if she dont well atleast I am making her feel good. But yeah sometimes I dont ask girls out just cause I asked some out already and need a break. So if a girl wants me she either has to ask me, OR OR OR give me a solid hint. But I suck at hints lol. So make it solid!

Because he doesn't know the answer she would give so he anticipates the worst, and he doesn't want to be hurt so he doesn't take the chance.
Under that circumstance, he would have to know that she was friendly and wouldn't bite off his head if he asked ... then he would ask.

Guys are just as scared of being turned down as girls would be. You like him all the same, go ahead and ask him out instead. It would be very bold and break the ice for both of you. He will definately be very impressed.

Maybe he's shy, I once liked this girl for two years when I was in high school and didn't had the guts to ask her out. I regret it now.

What I think is, is that the guy might not know, & be unsure of how the girl would react. Some guys are that dence. And alot of them are unsure of themselves. Or they could be affraid of the father. lol :)
Have a good day.

Ask him out. Granted certain guys need that special push, but if he isnt going to ask you out anytime soon...then you do it. Be the woman and show him you AREN'T afraid...he'll deffinatly like that.
Good Luck!
