If it was just bike riding I'd say OK, but teaching you to swim seems a little on the creepy side, seeing as how you'd both be in skimpy outfits and might involve touching in certain parts. A little forward for a first date.

I don't see what it would hurt asking him if he's trying to ask you on a date. If he says no, you can say that you already know how to swim or you're afraid of water or that you'd like it. So what's the big dealio?

Having been "that guy" when I was young, he doesn't have the nerve to straight-out ask you out.

When I was young I didn't have any nerve left due to massive rejection (like 95 out of 96). When you're young, after awhile (if you're sensitive) you just stop taking the risk, the ony thing you get further is humiliation and thoughts of suicide/born defective/loser when you fail yet once again while all your friends are doing fine and you see them doing fine all the time.

They say nothing ventured, nothing gained, but nothing ventured, no humiliation was where I was at 22. I'd rather have had a root-canal.

It's better to suffer a rejection than living with the regret of never been brave enough to try...shyness is not excuse, sorry don't want to be judgemental but when you really want something there is nothing that will stop you

I disagree. for me I need rewards. No rewards, no effort.
