Many of us are afraid to ask anybody for anything. Who knows why. Maybe people will think less of you. Maybe the person asked will say "no". Maybe the person will say "yes" and then you'll be indebted to him. Maybe you think you should be able to figure out things for yourself.
It's been my experience that people like to be asked. Most of the time being asked is a compliment. Most people are very willing to be of help. Sometimes the person you ask can't help but is very willing to direct you to a person who is in a better position to help you.
You have nothing to lose by asking. If the person asked can't or won't help, you're in the same position you were in before you asked. In the New Testament it says, "Seek and you shall find; knock and the door will be opened; ask and it shall be given..."
What more advice do you need? Seek what you want, knock on doors to get it and ask, ask, ask.
