want to know your thoughts

What could come is you going up to him and saying, "Steve (or whatever his name is), would you like to get a coffee?"

Or a soda, if you prefer.

It's 2019. You can ask him out. And you don't need to know exactly how he's going to react. That's a part of the grand mystery of life -- not having all the answers ahead of time.

The big advantage of a woman asking a guy out is that he knows you are genuinely interested in him.
Whereas if the guy is asking the girl out, she may say yes but not necessarily be all that keen.... "I have my doubts about this guy, but i may as well will give him a chance to change my mind".
