Talk to him in person! This is your problem. Talking on the internet wrecks any proper communication. DOn't specificially "ask him out" Just say something like "I fancy doing something tonight...wanna go for a drink or something?" orif you're a teenager "A load of us are going to the cinema tomorrow, wanna come?" Subtle and breaks the barrier. Good luck x

"All we've been doing is talking online". This is your problem. Human beings are meant to communicate face to face. The reason why he probably hasn't asked you out is because he can't pick up on your signals of interest. Talk to him in real life.

Hes just shy, you ask him out. Or try and further your relationship in other ways, like talking on the phone or texting.

This isn't addressing the specific question, but it explains to women why he hasn't asked you out yet. Understand that some men have exacting standards. It takes a long time to really know a person. If he is controlled, not falling as quickly as the other boys, that is a sign of power and you should find it sexy. A man who takes his time is someone who is moving beyond the superficial. Remember that relationships are big investments. Smart investors always do their research. Secondly, maybe he is insinuating you. If you are even at this forum asking this question, he has the upper hand, he is enigmatic, and he has you thinking about him. He might let it marinate and milk it for all its worth. Your imagination will eat you alive and you'll fall right into his hands.

He's probably terrified. It's not easy being the guy in this situation. If he's the cautious type, like myself, he'll want to have a 95-100% certainty that you'd say yes if he asked you out. Try talking to him about it in a reasonably up-front manner. We aren't that good at picking up on hints (or if we do, we're not sure if it's a hint or not), so it's a huge relief when it's all kept simple and straightforward.

He's almost definately shy. I put off asking a girl out for nearly a fortnight because I was shy and unconfident.

It could be for he is shy. It's the 21st Century. You could be the one who that ask him out. Let him know that you truly like him and maybe he'll confess right there. I usually am the one asking the guys out. =3

I am the man in this situation at the moment. The only reason I haven't asked her out yet is I'm waiting for the moment for the kiss that will kick start everything!

Most likely he is shy, but in my past experiences of that kind, I've always had the mindset that if he really thinks it's worth possibly getting to know me better/beginning a relationship, he'll risk getting rejected. I don't want a wimpy man. If you become good friends and he becomes aware of your good qualities and knows a good catch when he sees it, he should take the risk. I guess I'm more traditional, but I think that it's the man's job to assume the major risk in the relationship as much as is in his control (including making the first move).
