There he is. He looks nice. He's everything you find attractive. He's got a lovely voice, he's as manly as you want, or as androgynous. He's the right height and weight. He smiles nicely. You know him well enough anyway because he is in your school/ work /social set. But you have no idea what his thoughts are about gay folk, nor what his sexuality is. All you know is that he is at home, socially, with male and female, and he is comfortable enough in himself to flirt, or look as if he is flirting, with male and female equally.
You and he have shared coffee (etc) socially anyway, either alone or in a group. You are on speaking terms, at the acquaintance level.
You are not out. No-one has, as far as you can tell, any idea that you are not heterosexual. Coming out would be viewed fairly neutrally where you are though there will always be exceptions, but you have not yet chosen to do so.
What now? How do you ask him on a date?
