That's so spineless
Right, lets lay it out here, no man is ever upset or embarrassed when a pretty girl asks him out for a drink. He'll either give it a go to see what happens, or he'll politely decline, but he won't hold it against you.

the problem is college
we're the gossipiest college in Oxford and I don't think I could put up with the constant gloating/gossip if he knocked me back

Depends how you ask though.
You could be sneeky.

If, one a group social he happens to mention he is going to a rugby/football/hockey game, pipe up with, 'I've always fancied going to that, but I've never known anyone who fancied going' - and leave it at that, see if he suggests something.

This is not entirely true
some men are real cunts and will laugh you out of a room. I know, as this has happened to not only me but a number of people I know.

Not all men are cunts.

And even amongst them, very few are likely to burst into tears, phone the police and try and get you arrested on a charge of assault.

Not I
But then I've never had a girl laugh in my face due to my advances.
Mainly because I never make any because I'm paranoid and crippled with fear of rejection

What, never?
Surely not. (to the latter rather than the former)
(berk, Tue 18 Jan 2011, 0:39, Reply)

Ok, not never
Once, and it started my first long term relationship. I was a bit more confident back then. Nowadays (last 3 years or so) I just have never been able to pluck up the courage to just ask.

Dude
you're nearly 30. MTFU and ask! What's changed between then and now that you have less confidence?

Some personal stuff mixed in with putting on weight
I was skinny back in uni days. And thanks for reminding me about my age :p

I hide it well, srsly
Cider has been a cruel mistress to me, love handles (or as my ex called them, 'door frames') suck.

I want to lose some off my belly/hips
And build some strength up. Then I might be more comfortable in myself.

I did actually
It was a fair shock to the system!

No more than a mile
But with traffic and a steep hill...

Well, it's a start

(berk, Tue 18 Jan 2011, 1:23, Reply)

Nice going!
What I used to do, and plan to start again, is after I get home from work staying on the bike and continuing past my house to the country walk/cycle path, go for 3 miles down there then head back.

Ugh, that's noble
I don't think I could be arsed after work, but fair play to you. Sometimes I stay at work til 6pm or later simply because I can't be arsed to cycle home!
(berk, Tue 18 Jan 2011, 1:32, Reply)

You've got a longer trip though
Sometimes by the time I get home I've just found my stride, so want to go another 20 minutes.

I've got to the age now when I only judge women on how many kids I'm expected to take on!
