I consider myself to be an old fashioned kind of girl and more of a relationship girl not a dater and now I am single again and dating. I have been out with this one guy a few times and things always go very well. He has asked me for every date so I'm starting to think he is waiting for me to ask him out for a change. I would rather wait and see if he asks me out again but at the same time I don't want him to think I am not interested. I don't know what I am afraid of and I know I should just ask him, I guess I'm just wondering if guys like to be asked out of if they think it's needy?

IMO after he's asked you out on the third date (or so) I think it's clear he's interested in you. At that point I think it's just fine to show you're enjoying the time spent with him as well, and maybe even reassuring to him knowing where you stand. If he's doing all the asking/calling, after a certain point he could be a bit uncertain about your level of interest. Next time you're on a date or when he calls, perhaps bring up an activity you'd like to do, especially with him.

Once the two of you become more steady then things should get more reciprocal. But in the beginning it is good for the guy to do the asking in my opinion.
