As far as what's better, there's no right answer. If you know he likes you, go for it. There's nothing to say women shouldn't be assertive when it comes to romantic matters. It's always flattering when someone asks you out or tells you they like you.
Good luck Jen-kun! If you can't manage it on your own, call me up and put him on the phone with me. I'll play cupid for you both!
