*sigh* You have so much to learn. You don't ASK blokes out. You tell all your friends and get them to drop shameless hints until he asks YOU out It's a tried and tested formula. Don't mess things up. (Seriously though - yay! Well done you. I've never had the guts to ask anyone directly and so go for the friends dropping shameless hints method)
Yay! More women should ask men out, then they'd realise that the pain of childbirth and menstruation is kind of balanced out across the gender divide.
