Just Do It
Sure, it can be a little intimidating to approach a dude, but it puts you in control of your dating destiny, and besides - guys really like it.

Try to gauge what the guy you've set your sights on is into. Here's how: As you're chatting him up, ask him what he did over the weekend. Then, casually suggest something similar - whether it be going out for wings or to the batting cages - for the following Friday.
Have a Spare Ticket
Got tickets to a concert he's dying to see or game he wants to check out? Invite him to join you. He'll be amped that you share the same interests. Just make sure it's something you want to see, too. That way, if he can't make it, you can still have a great time with a friend.
