I hear this same answer from guy after guy.  They tell me that they don't have the confidence to ask a girl out that they like or that they are afraid that she won't like you.  But here is my question, why be afraid?  You can't possibly be anymore single than you already are.  I also want to point out that if you are friend zoned that you most likely don't want to be in the situation so by not doing anything about it you are only hurting yourself.  Once again, you can't possibly be more single than you already are and we both know you aren't just looking to be her friend, so tell me your mindset behind this. 

I've always been scared of being turned into a joke with her girlfriends, if it doesn't work out. I have no confidence whatsoever.

While I am a bit afraid of asking a girl out, the biggest factor for me is that I don't really like any of the ones in my class/activities/miscellaneous. But, as I said in the beginning I am still afraid or just simply shy, at least it's easy for me hide my feelings.

Do you want to be a life coach or something?

What happens when you ask your friend out and they say no? They may not be the same around you anymore, its a tough call :(

I have a boyfriend, You don't believe me?

Ok, i'll send you a sex tape.

I don't think people are afraid of being even more single, but being rejected, and what comes after rejection? People talking about you being rejected. (In HighSchool, at least. )
