I'm really interested in this guy but I'm afraid to ask for his number! Help?

[lovvvve(:]

So there is this guy who I've actually known since I was a little kid because his mom and mine are really close friends. We have never been close or anything, but we've just been to each others houses a lot when we were younger for things with our parents. I went to high school with him, he's a grade below me even though he's actually older. So he's a senior and I just graduated. I just got out of a 14 month relationship and I'm trying to get over a really bad heartbreak, and he's the first guy I've actually thought about having a new relationship with since my break up. We both follow eachother on twitter and instagram and every once in awhile he would like my pictures and stuff. My sister is still in high school and she told him that I thought he was cute, and I guess he was like "I've known her forever." and told her thanks for telling him. Ever since she said something to him he has liked almost all my instagram photos, favorited a bunch of my tweets, and tweeted at me about something yesterday. He hasn't asked for my number and I really want him to. I want to ask him but I never make the first move with guys, I always let them come to me. He's athletic and really cute, and he's a pretty popular kid too. He's so nice and he wants to be a nurse someday and so do I. I know that I'm a pretty girl and everything but I'm a little shy. A lot of guys have tried talking to me since my break up but I'm really interested in him for some reason. I want to dm him but I feel like if he really wanted to text me he would get my number, he's not shy. But he's constantly liking all my pictures. What should I do?

If you like him, ask for his number. Flirt. It doesn't have to be uncomfortable or taboo. And while you should avoid seeming desperate (because you're not) just let it subtly be known that you like him. Then, let him make the next move.

Why wait if you like him? It's a modern world when men and women can express their feelings.

So since he knows about you and you liking him, go for it. Just tweet him to give you your number or suggest he sends a email ,etc.

Don't wait until he gets another g/f before you because of your hesitation and you will regret greatly. So go for it.
