I love questions like these. I really do.

(Sorry, couldn't come up with a word I really wanted to use that started with a "w". So I made one up. If knight starts with a silent "k" and psoriasis starts with a silent "p", I'm sure you'll be more than okay with my silent "w". Thank you.)
My guess is you're dealing with a fellow who's waiting on the green light. Maybe not even one, perhaps he needs to see a succession of green lights before he makes a move.
Because he doesn't want to be wrong.
You see, men (unless they're the extremely confident "go on yellow" type of guys) do not want to look like a fool to a woman. It's embarrassing and believe it or not, despite the millions of rejections we encounter, they always sting.
You'll probably need to be more aggressive in showing him that he can make a move. You don't have to send him a letter saying, "kiss me you silly frog" but you can definitely be more flirty and touchy-feely so that in his mind he almost has to convince himself to NOT make a move. Men just need motivation at times, especially the good ones. We don't want to make you uncomfortable or anything so we under do it.
He's probably just shy and doesn't want to be wrong. Give him an incentive. I suggest you walk up to him butt naked and say, "you know, if you'd just make a move, this could all be yours."
Then go get dressed and come back as if nothing happened.
If that doesn't do the trick, he hasn't made a move because he isn't interested in you.
Really great question (& answer)! I've been in this situation several times, usually with men who turn out to be really great & respectful (so don't dismiss them!). Last time I dated a man who was slow in making the first move I took the initiative for once (& was more aggressive as Girls' BFF suggests). After a date we were in my kitchen where i was making him a drink. I hoisted myself up on the counter while he was talking. He leaned in to kiss me, I kissed him back, then wrapped my legs around him. That worked well, lol, & made for a pleasant evening.
BTW: LOVING guyspeak (& am seriously addicted already). I'm telling all my girlfriends about it!!! Keep up the great (hilarious) work guys!
I love this site as well. All the writers talk just like me and my friends and it is intensely satisfying them break down problems in such a manner.
As for the answer.
If you are daring enough to walk butt-naked up to him and he is chill enough to talk to you in a intelligent manner, then I say you will make a pretty cool fucking couple.
The waiting woman wishes the wholesome warrior would whisk her away!
I think it conveys the same sentiment.
Panama's answer is spot-on. The first time I asked a girl out was after months of hanging out and even holding hands twice. My problem was I had spent the last 9 years in a school setting that destroyed my self confidence, so making a move was a lot harder for me. Looking back, I doubt I ever would've asked her out if she hadn't made it so damn obvious. What I'm saying is, even though I gawked at Panama's suggestion at first, it's definitely a step in the right direction. Maybe don't go full nude, but do something that'll leave him wanting more. Try holding his hand ;)
Or you could... You know... Make the first move yourself?
You could have said:
The waiting woman wishes the wholesome warrior would woo!
Peace.
