how can I not screw this up ?

[Cyber]

how do I begin, lets see, there is this guy that I have been crushing on for almost a year in my university, he is intellegent, good looking and seems very fiendly.
I always dreamt and fanticised about us being together but because he looked older and I live in Bahrain a muslim country and being in the closet I couldnt act on my feelings.
Almost everytime that I saw him, i tried to make eye contact and half the time it worked, he seemed curious, on one occation I saw him at a coffee shop near the university and when he saw me, his facial expression changed as if it was saying " what is he doing here ? " in a good way.
anyhow, my new year as junior started and I havent seen him, I didnt think about it because I thought he wasnt gay or that he was out of my leage.
weekend came and I was at home at night thinking that i probubly should be sleeping but I had that compelling feeling that i should stay awake watch some movies, and thats what I did untill that blue notification poped up in my blackberry, telling me that I have a new friend request.
I opened my laptop and went to facebook, when I saw the profile picutre I was sooooo happy , I thought that I was dreaming and no way that this would ever happen.
after I accepted, he started chating with me, we talked for a bit, and he was so nice, I tried to be at my best behaivior becaouse I didnt want to ruin it, at the end of the conversation he told me that I exceeded his expectations and gave me both of his numbers one for calling and the other for "Whatsapp".
anyways, I realy like this guy and i dont want to come off stupid or goofy, i want his attention and i want to try to get a date with him.
I need advice, on what to say and what to do?

HELP !!

PS: none of us told the other that we were intrested or showed the other that we are gay, and there still a chance that he isnt

Sounds to me like you couldn't screw this up if you wanted to. Unless he spent any time talking about girls or a girlfriend, I suspect he's a member of the camp (that is, gay). He's obviously keen on you as a person so allow this to play out at a pace that's comfortable for both of you and he will probably initiate something that will clarify his orientation. I hope you two will be great together

It sounds to me like you've already screwed it up bro! What makes you think you know about your sexuality when your brain isn't even done developing. I'm not particularly keen on the go with the flow of sexual preference leagues. I just think that there is so much to you than you may think you understand. If you're born the way you are, that's all the self-definition you need. Stop trying to please everybody and try to discover yourself with time. Priceless advice, Pray to God so he guides you to understanding your true purpose. God bless in Jesus name.
