How can you ask a guy out?

How can I ask a guy to the dance?

• Ok so the Sadies Hawkins dance is coming up. I never had a boyfriend so I'm really shy when it comes to these things, and I never talked to the guy I like so this makes me even more scary to ask him, because I'm scared of getting rejected. Also my parents are overprotected and still don't want me to have a boyfriend..... Whenever I think of this I feel very nervous... How can I build up my confidence to ask him? Help? :/

• Answer:

  Hey, don't be shy. I have asked girls to dance before, they said yes. Girls have asked me to dance, I said yes. When girls ask me, they usually say "Hey, wanna dance" and that is what I said when I asked a girl to dance. If they say yes, you know the drill. If they say no, just walk away and act like nothing happened and find someone else. I go to parties regularly so I am used to rejection, now it is your turn.
