How and should I even ask my crush out?

[Wearegolden2]

So I'd like to ask my crush out (He's an erasmus student from Italy) I only see him on Monday, because we have an English class together. He's always with a girl who's also from his home town. I've been talking to the girl but not really thaaaat much to him. (mainly bc i'm shy but so is he haha,) my friend and I always greet him.

He also likes Twenty one pilots (my fave band) and we discussed their latest single once really quick. I added him and the girl on Facebook, she's been sharing lots of pics from places she visited already. There were some other people in the pictures too but he wasn't.. so i assume she made some friends already. Not too sure about him.

Soooo I was thinkin about asking him to see a horror movie with me and my friend. But im kinda scared he'll say no? My friend thinks he'll say yes bc i mean, i would be kinda lonely if i were studying abroad and appreciate it if someone would ask me... unless he's not into horror movies idk? We barely know each other on the other hand my friend will be there as well so idk? I have no idea how to ask him and start the convo

What do you think? Looking for some advice xxx

I say its easier to start chatting on FB and then eventually bring up idea about going out together. Ask him some questions about him and tell him something about your life. Then say like - It would be cool to meet and go to movies together or something like that. Or would he want to go on a movies with you. Also movies might not work but something else might. like going for a walk to park or having a coffee or tea together or maybe even dinner.
I had a nice date with a girl last week and we had a dinner in good restaurant and then went for a walk. So it was better then just walk or dinner alone.

I agree with pcmaster that starting to chat him up online could help you feel a little less shy around him. That said, though, I don't see any problem with asking if he'd like to join you and some friends to see a horror movie. I will say this.... if it was a DATE just you and him, I wouldn't necessarily recommend the movies as a first date. A first date should be one where you two are able to talk quite a bit and get to know each other.

However, for obvious reasons, you certainly should NOT be doing that at the movies. You should be relatively silent and watching the movie. So, not a good place for a first date. I mean, it's perfectly fine as a date, just probably not one very early in the relationship.

But.... it doesn't necessarily sound like this would be a date, it's more just a bunch of friends getting together. So, I don't see why not. Go ahead and invite him if you want. I would just say this.... if you want to ask him out, don't invite him on TOO many group events before you finally ask him out. That could result in him figuring you two are just friends. It could initially be a good way to get to know him better without yet asking him out if you are feeling too shy.... but just don't take too long to find (or make) an excuse to ask him out.

Good luck!
