Men really respond to friendliness and confidence. Just walk up to him, muster all the confidence you can get, give him a friendly smile, and ask him if he wants to get together to go see a movie you think he might like. If you play it off cool, like you're just trying to hang, it will cause less pressure. And then once you're ON the date, you can gauge his reaction to you and see what happens.

Treasa is right on the money. Guys like a girl that will approach them, and we appreciate when a girl does, because since guys are usually the ones to do the approaching, we understand how much courage you have to muster. As long as you can be loose (not morally ) and show him how much fun you can be, he will jump at the chance to hang out with you. It's best to keep the pressure off at first, but if a guy goes for the chance to see you outside his circle, there's a good chance he's into you as more than a buddy.
