Thanks! I've never dated so I didn't know what to think.

My pleasure. Just keep in mind that if you want to get a million miles out of a guy, pay him a compliment. Tell him that something he said or did really impressed you, or that he is good looking. That kind of thing will be encouraging and give him the first shot at asking you out. (Don't be surprised, though, if you have to do that once or twice. Guys - and I speak as one - don't always pick up even the most obvious signals. The younger they are, generally the worse they are at getting signals. Not because they are bad, but because they are as inexperienced in their way as you are in yours.) Give him the first and second chances to ask you out. A gentleman, in my view, should always be given the opportunity to ask first. If he doesn't, then ask him in a casual way. Not, "Do you want to go out on a date?" Rather, "Would you like to have coffee sometime" (or go to a movie or whatever.)? If he says "Yes," then ask him what day and time would work best for him. (If you suggest a time, he can always say that it won't work.) If he is vague, then ask him what he is doing on a Saturday - day, not evening - make evening the second choice. After that, watch how he treats you. This is hard and gets involved with reading your own mind as well as his, but if he treats you like a friend, back off. Exception: At the end of the "date," ask him if he had a good time. This allows him to ask you out - if he wants to. So there you have it - a guy's view of how to get a guy to ask you out - or alternatively, how to ask him out. Best of luck. That all said, I think that you can be fairly sure the guy you mentioned in your question won't work out for you.
