How do I talk to this guy at school?

[Amber]

Oh my gosh! I am in the same problem, only... I HAVE A CRUSH ON A SHY GUY. I know, and I barely know him too. At my school, there was this Halloween dance and I wanted a date, and my friends said that this guy (I don't want to say names) was perfect! He was originally going with his friends, and it was picture day when my friends asked him for me (I know, I am such a wimp.) so he wanted to see who I was so, I came to him, he looked at me, and he hid behind his friend and said yes. It was so cute! He would make a perfect boyfriend! Anyway, because I don't want to date either, but I at least want to be his friend so when I am older, he would ask me out on the spot! so, because my crush is shy, (yes, he likes me back witch makes it harder to talk to him) I am just starting out by saying hi to him In the hall way. Simple. Maybe after a week or two of that, ask him simple questions like what time is it? And if he is in your classes, ask him what is our next class. Stuff like that. Soon you can talk to him. I hope this helped! Sorry if it isn't very good advice...
