How to talk to your crush on Facebook?

[Emily]

I met him at a New Year's party and we got a photo together, and when we went back to school we talked whenever we saw each other, so we know of each other. But I only had the courage to talk to him when I was with my really sociable friend, who changed where her locker was so I never see him when I'm with her anymore, (one of his classes was next to her old locker). When we see each other, he always smiles and says hi first because I'm too shy and we don't have a conversation because we're never alone- we're always with friends, or we're going into the elevator or something. And my friends say he checks me out when he sees me, but I'm just scared to start talking to him on Facebook! Any tips? Thank you all
Oh if it helps to know we're 17.

Say hi

Say hi.. then instead of following convo with h r u gd u fine.. the end

Go and see what he likes, maybe u can see from status update or something like pages or interest..and also u like

So maybe something if status is like I can't wait for Game of thrones.. u can be like ditto

I am so excited ..

Don't trap yourself in a dull convo

Like hi
h r u
gd
u
fine
the end...

Haha, were in the same predicament, I'm stuck on a good message myself, as a guy all I can say is say hey or hi, men arnt complicated when it comes to messaging haha, be simple and when he answers keep the convo going, no one word answers unless it actually is a one word answer like yes or no

facebook is such an easy way to talk to your crush. you can always go for the easy "hi" and see where that goes, or you can try the "ask them a question and hope you guys get off topic" strategy.

So you met a gut that likes and you like him, but can only talk with a chaperone/babysitter around. Now you want to talk to him "HIDING" behind face book, but STILL don't now what to say. So you ask Yahoo Answers and No Matter What We Say, its still going to be YOU that has to make contact. Has it occurred to you that he is as inexperienced as you. He scared to, I just haven't found his question about you. When I do, I'm gonna tell him
"Has it occurred to you that she is as inexperienced as you. She scared to, I just found her question about you." It's okay to be afraid and nervous about something you've never done before. It's just not okay to be controlled by it. One day you are going to want to learn to drive, you will be nervous or scared. Writing to Yahoo Answers won't help you. YOU will have to do it. This is he same thing. Only it's a Model BOY. The only Key you need to "turn it on" is you being there. You won't need a license, just a voice and a smile. You don't have to drive him, he likes you too, let him take control. If he can't or doesn't know how, it's because "he is as inexperienced as you."
Don't hide behind Facebook or texting. If some other girl starts the way you want, "by hiding" you will lose him or share him. Talking face to face, there is NO waiting for response, NO hiding, NO Other Girl. You do not need to be confident for him, you just need to participate. Keep it simple: Smile BIG say: "Hi, stranger… remember me? I'm (your name). Along long time ago last month, my friend had her locker next to your class. We use to talk. I miss the good old days, talking to you. You didn't forget me already did you?"
Two inexperienced people talking to each other is still scary, but not as scary as seeing him with some other girl (whose not hiding).
