So...random question for anyone who's attached currently...or has been attached in the past, I'm not picky!

what's the best way to ask someone out?

that isn't "just go up to them and ask". I've tried, it don't work.

...asking for a friend, of course.

He's trying. It isn't easy, but this is a welcome distraction. ]

Uh huh.
Did your friend realize their crush might see this?

If your friend did ask, I admire their courage.
Takes guts to talk about how you really feel.

yeah, but I'm not naming names, so it's fine.

[Besides that, the crush in question might not even be here anymore.]

Not asking. It's none of my business.
Still mean what I said. That takes guts.
I don't know if there's a bulletproof approach. Never really got the hang of talking about the really important stuff, either. Your friend could consider what they stand to lose.
