Prelude: my friend called me screaming her head off. She's been waiting for this guy to say "something" for almost 6 months, now. We go through his words, actions and reactions, he's obviously interested. He just won't get to it!
So one thing that pisses me off from Arab men is their limitless ability to go around in circles. An Arab man would tiptoe and make up excuses to call/chat/email..etc, but just won't talk about "it". Seriously, what do you have to loose? A rejection? Well, get over it. I'd say, bring it out in the open, let's talk about "it", evaluate the possibilities and act accordingly.
Why is it so easy in the west? I was in London for 1 year, I get asked out on dates more than the prior 6 years (eligible for dating) in Egypt. Someone in the Tube would go "So is it a good book as they claim?" after saying yes or no, "How about we go for a drink and talk about it?". At Uni, a guy said "I noticed you have very colorful hijab." after the thank you, "I know this great halal restaurant right across the street, want to have lunch there sometime?". Or even once walking the street, "You have very beautiful eyes. Where are you from?" then "Let me grab you coffee and walk you to wherever you're going". I'm not flaunting it. It really was that simple.
