Hey I am shy and I don't know how to ask someone out on a date.

[Lyra]

I wondered if I could ask for advice to know how to get the courge to ask someone out on a date.

You just do it.
Don't think about it.
Forget about your nervousness.
Overcome it all, and just ask them.

Or at least that's what I had to do, which worked.

There is no trying once you're walking up to them. There is only doing.

Then I think I am not ready yet.

USE BAD PICKUP LINES... like the polar bear/enough to break the ice line.
Joking, don't, unless you really DGAF like I do. That actually works well for me cause it helps break the ice, but I don't use played out lines, and it might not work for you.
You should pretty much get to know him/her before asking them out; they might like you but not that way. When you do know them enough to think to ask them out, you won't feel as reluctant to do so or as shy as you are now.

Like you I am also shy but I also stutter, I can't even say my name sometimes. This is a part of my life I am tryin to work on myself.

He main key is confidence, all you need to really do is talk to them and show them the confidence.

As crazy as it may seem you should try to practice what you are going to say. Going straight in is a little too brave. Find a quiet place, think of what you are going to say, and try saying it out loud. This will get you a bit more comfortable and you will be able to notice if something sounds a bit awkward. When you go to ask them you are probably going to freeze up but you will have to do your best to to push out of barrier of being shy and not hesitate. If you hesitate you probably will end up not asking at all. Just relax and do your best. =S I say just ask for something simple too like...maybe movies.

Asking someone out, particularly if you're romantically interested in the person is always hard to do. I like to have at least some link with the person first before I ask her out so we're both comfortable to a certain extent instead of it coming out of the blue. If you do chat to her about something, you could try and steer the conversation in the direction of having coffee together. Then when you're more comfortable with one another ask her whether she'd like to go out for movies or something. If you have no link with her yet then maybe you have to establish that first. Like find out what her interests are and see where the two of you could meet up in her world. It may require lots of patience. Most important thing is never to force it. Only do what feels comfortable for you.
