Well...the problem is you're not taking a risk. All you have to say to your crush is, 'Would you like to go out/hang out' sometime. It's a easy question. If they say no, pack it up and move on. You have to get out of your comfort zone and actually approach someone if you want to go out with them. Same with online dating. So what if they might be taking to other guys...if they're not dating anyone, then you have a chance.
