What's the worst thing that could happen?
He could say no, so what?
Don't give people the power to hurt you. It doesn't matter what THEY think only what YOU think.
Go for it!

Get rejected a realize life goes on. Hear let me help you with that I don't want you. See, maybe you have been rejected all your life and what you fear is acceptance. You have been rejected before and has your life been that bad? I bet not, or at least not not worth living for. Now could acceptance be that much worse then what your life is now. So try and see if you could be accepted. If you can't well then it is no different then you are now is it?

if your afraid of being rejected now by a boy you may be afraid of being rejected later on by jobs, or when you apply for schools. The only way to deal with it is swallow up the fear and do it. Ask the guy out if you get rejected then you know the guy wasn't right for you and there will always be other and better guys out there.

I think you should test the waters a bit first, maybe you could let it spill to a few gossipy friends that you like him and see how he reacts? But honestly, my personal opinion is that rejection isn't so bad, you'll cry/whine/whatever about it for 2 days and before you know it you'll be laughing. If you really are scared do it on the phone or over MSN!

It is worse to see him w/another girl b/c you didn't act quick enough than to get rejected. You just need to overcome your fear or he's out of the picture. Take it from someone who knows.

Yes girl, rejection is part of life and it always going to happen either from friends or even a job. All I can say is prepare for the worst, and act out how you can handle it.

You just have to realize that rejection is often a part of life and it is something that you have to learn to deal with! And I'm sorry but to learn how to deal with it, you have take the chance of it happening. Whether it is in a relationship, friendship, team or job! Nothing ventured, nothing gained!!!

there are ways around it. email/instant messenging is a good way to avoid confrontation. life is full of rejection but once you put your fears aside, you'll feel really proud of yourself. i asked a guy out before. do it really casually.. just say simple things friends would say except dont do it in a group. like..."i really wanna see this movie, do u wanna go see it with me? all my friends have seen it already." start small

Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE gets rejected at least once in their life. There is nothing to be afraid of. Plus, if you want to ask him out he probably has caught your attention some how or another so he will most likely agree. Anyway good luck and don't wimp out!!!!!

You will never get over it. I think it is a universal fear/concern. Plus, if you did you would probably be completely stoic and boring. At least being nervous is a sign of affection and of having a heartbeat!
