Help with younger guy?

[kate]

So there's this guy that I've been crushing on for the whole year and he's at my college and I recently was able to meet him at a party. I had added him on Facebook a few weeks before and he accepted and I sent him a message complimenting him about something and he replied in a nice manner. so I sent him another message, But before he actually read it on Facebook that was when I met so once I actually met him I saw him the next day randomly. I went up to him and we started talking and we had a pretty good conversation.

He mentioned the message I'd send him because he realized it was me who sent it and he was really chill about it But he didn't reply since we just had a conversation so I kind of understand that.

When I told him I was four years ahead of him he was really impressed, but do you think that would intimidate him and leave him to think that I was just talking in a friendly manner rather than in a romantic manner? Is there anything I can do to give him the message that I'm interested? During our conversation I didn't ask for his number because I didn't want to seem too forward. but I feel like the girls who are much more forward always snatch up these types of guy so help me please!
