I'm obsessed with somebody who doesn't know I exist?

You need to push yourself past your comfort zone. Instead of avoiding him, try to end up in a place he'll be at where he'll recognize your friends. Try to somehow talk to him. But take baby steps. Take a step out of your comfort zone, and talk to him every once in a while. Small talk. And get comfortable with that. Then gradually take it a bit further.

I don't know exactly how you can get into some kind of contact with him. But it's your situation, you can probably think of something. Don't be afraid. What's the worst that can happen? Gradually become his friend. Don't be shy.
