how do i ask

Hmm... I remember one of your concerns in your last question is that you were afraid he would forget about you while he's away. Now, I'm sure that won't happen, not with how close you seem to be. So keep in touch with him while he's gone, and ask if you two can hang out/go out together during one of his visits back. I think that would be a good time to confess and ask. If he's not into the idea of starting a relationship like that, be sure he knows that it's okay if he doesn't want to or if he's not ready. If you're as close as it sounds, I'm sure he'll be understanding, and you two can continue on your friendship. Good luck!

I would suggest talking to him now and make things as comfortable as possible for the both you as of now. Once he say he has to come for a visit ask would it be okay if you guys go somewhere romantic or simply a date. Be honest and straightforward. Most guys find that attractive and never say no. Good luck to you both!

Thanks guys for d amazing suggestions. He seemed interested till couple of days back.. Now I dunno he seemed withdrawn.. Like I asked him jokingly if I shud come over.. Last Wednesday.. So he wanted me too.. But he said it was too late at night.. So we cud make it on Sunday..wen he wud come here.. So I adjusted my work shift to hang out with him. Now from last 2days he seemed to b answering in monosyllables.. So I asked him abt Sunday.. And he is like his frnds r coming over.. I was disappointed.. I dunno wat to do now. Any suggestions @Hayden @layla dunno if he already changed his mind
