A. When friends start dating it's a big change for both guys and girls in that circle. Remember that there might be guys who want to date you but are afraid of being reject if they ask you out. If you feel you're ready to start dating, how about asking someone out yourself? Ask someone you're interested in who has shown an interest in you. What about that cute guy you hang out with who hasn't started dating either? You can invite that someone to join a group get-together, if a one-on-one date is not comfortable for you now. It might be harder to do the asking, but at least you're going for what you want.
