SHY GUYS- Should I ask for his #? ;)?

[024]

-He's a sr I'm a jr in HS, He's the shyest/quietest guy I know/I'm kind of the opposite
-I've known him for 3 months.
-I started talking to him about music on twitter direct msg (like fb msg) & some tweets. He responds to like 4 messages & seems engaged in the convo, then stops- BUT it appears that he doesn't see them or forgets to check them? (I asked him if he knew a singer, he didn't reply. A week later I asked him and he answered as if it was the first time he saw the question)
-He blushes visibly at me and, as far as I know NOT around anyone else that I know. I noticed it at least 3-4 times, specifically when I look in his eyes & ask him questions/talk to him in person.
-He smiles & says hey when he sees me most of the time. Sometimes he starts a conversation, but it's almost always me.
-We have 0 classes. I usually see him for about 2 mins when I get my lunch from my orchestra locker which is in the same room as his band locker. We are alone.
-Sometimes I see him after school for drama club (set shop) but right now I'm taking a break from it for an ACT class & violin stuff.
-I will start to see him more often in 2 weeks bc the pit orchestra rehearses while crew (including him) works backstage for 3 hrs after school, and also bc I'm doing crew for the spring play, since there is no need of a pit orchestra, & he's doing it too
-We don't really have mutual friends (some of his friends don't like me...)


I want to get to know him but he doesn't talk a lot and we dont see each other much. I want to text him but... isn't the twitter thing (not always replying) kind of a bad sign? should I keep "chasing"? He might actually like me & is acting like this because he is, by nature, reallyyy quiet & shy. He doesn't often start the convo, but maybe he doesn't know what to say or have anything to say. But I really feel like I should have my turn being chased... Right?

SO, SHY GUYS.........Do I go for him, be direct, & ask for his #? Or wait for him to 'catch up' & actually put in more effort?

Be direct. Hes shy probabally.

Just say to him"you need to chase me if you want to catch me!" He'll get it

DO IT DO IT DO IT.
When I was in drama club, the wardrobe chick (who I had been totally checking out all year) asked me out. We dated for 4 years.

Sometimes dudes need a little encouragement.

I'm a dude and I don't necessarily like wearing the "Pants" in the relationship. I am not very shy however, he probably still wants you to make the first move. As for not answering he might honestly not get the message, sometimes I look at a message and say I'm going to think on what to say then forget >.< If he blushes when talking to you that should be a great sign already. I would say not to give up and go for a more direct approach like using the one to two minutes you have in person to ask him if he would like to hang out sometime or for his number like you previously mentioned. This would be the best way since using facebook for things like this seems impersonal.

Go for it. He sounds like he is into you and I seriously want to live through him right now. I play 2 different instruments, love to sing, and am more submissive than most girls. I NEED A WOMAN TOO

Good luck! ^^
