Ask your crush out

Question

I found that when you want to ask whether he or she can go dating with you, you say " ask him or her out"

And also I found when you have a crush on someone and that is one-sided love, you call the one "crush"

So is it okay to say "ask your crush out" ?

I'm not sure and I have a strange feeling about this because it's made only of terms I don't know.

Thanks.

P.s. Maybe I'm not good at making English sentence so if there're any things that make you feel " a bit weird" , I'd be very glad to be noticed.

Yes, that sentence makes sense to a native English speaker. To make what you're saying even more clear, you could say that you "ask your crush out on a date." — Nick Weinberg, Commented Jun 14, 2017 at 23:35
I just want to point out that if someone is your crush, it doesn't necessarily mean that it is one-sided. They could also like you back and you could be fully aware of it and still call them your crush. — Phil14, Commented Jun 15, 2017 at 4:49
@Phil14 Indeed, though I think this is being contrasted with things like girlfriend/boyfriend, partner, etc. where the word requires that it be reciprocal. Usually you talk about your crush as the person you'd like to be in a mutual relationship with, and once you're in that relationship they get upgraded to girlfriend/boyfriend, partner, or whatever. :) I think you'd only keep calling them your crush if you both liked each other but for whatever reason didn't enter any such relationship. — Luke Sawczak, Commented Jun 20, 2017 at 14:48

The sentence that you have written can be said in a number of ways.

As you can see, the sentence you wrote was completely correct, and there was nothing weird about it.

Also, as Phil14 said in a comment above, a crush need not be a one-sided relationship, unless you already know it.

I hope this answers your question.

But again, although your crush may feel the same way about you (i.e. it is not unrequited love), note that once you are in a relationship with someone, they are no longer called your "crush".
