Just ask him out
>he seems kinda aloof and not picking up any hints
Men are retarded

he might be ignoring your hints on purpose. what are you doing, exactly, to signal to him that you're interested

>>318738

Dropping Hints is stupid, it like the equivalent of playing charades with someone who doesn’t even know they’re playing.

>smiling
That’s so broad, how does he know that you’re smiling because you looking at him?
What if you were smiling because you thought of something funny?
What if you were smiling because you’re looking at something else near him.
Every time someone drops a “hint” it genuine is a “I’m going to do an action or say something that means something impactful to me and assume it’s the same for him”
You can try and be straight forward with him as possible, what are his interests or hobbies? You could say you wanted to try something new and ask for his advice/trying to set up an event as a hangout.

he's probably not interested

You need to be direct and clear. Guys are bad at picking up on hints, so you need to not leave room for error.

Walk up to him and say "Hi, I like you. We should go on a date." then ask his email address (or phone number, or your social network of choice). Don't try to act cute or flirtatious about it, don't like try to seduce him, just be sensible and straightforward.
Don't overthink it. From the way you speak about this it sounds to me like you are flat out too shy to do that kind of thing, so you could also just decide to chicken out from the beginning so you don't waste your time further.

Socially inept autists have a much better chance with slow-paced text mediums than real-time conversation such as phone calls or chat. So yes, email.

nah dont ask a guy out it's very weird and wont work out. you have to flirt and seduce him.

You are telling her to waste an advantage.
The dating scene is very assymetrical; women almost never ask men out, and just wait around for the off chance that the guy they like will make the first move. That's not productive! If you want something to happen, you have to make it happen. You could go the halfway step and kind-of-sort-of do things that make it more likely, batting your eyes and shaking your hips or whatever, but why would you do this and waste time when you could just walk right up to them and say what you actually mean? Most guys will never be asked out by a woman, so any woman who does this is already a step ahead of any competition.

Guys are really dumb and scared of being creepy. You have to be crystal clear that you're into him directly, or he might think youre either being friendly, or teasing. Guys are really scared of being creepy and getting reported for sexual harassment so they won't go for it unless they know they have consent. It kinda sucks but after you get him to know, then you can play hard to get and have him pursue you and have fun that way. Good luck!!!
