The feeling of hopeless is probably the fear of rejection. Everyone has it, its normal but whenever I got myself in situations like that I would always ask myself "Am I going to regret this later in life?"

That normally gave me the courage to do alot.

If you don't do anything, you will have a 'no' for sure.
If you do something, your possibilities increase 50%.
I wish you good luck!

I think the "Will I regret this later in life?" question is a really good one. Will you regret not asking your friend to hang out in the summer? Probably. So ask him if he wants to hang out. It's not a weird thing to do or anything. The worst thing that can happen is he says no, but it sounds like you're already friends, so I don't see why he would say no unless he's going to be gone all summer or something.

Ask him directly, no detours. It is an easy habit to start.

Detour, everyone are here waiting for you to tell us good new about this guy.
Suggest him to go to the cinema bc you saw a movie you would like to watch or whatever this guy may like.
Begin like a friend. Don't go fast. Follow your guts.
I will really crossing my fingers for you.

Forgive me, detour. I missunderstood you.
Like I always have problems to connect with people on the oppossite sex, i thought you also have the same problem.
Sorry, a transference problem. Mouth shut up.
