want to talk to my crush on facebook but little shy...?

[runner14]

I'm friends with my crush on Facebook and sometimes when I see that they're online I want to send them a message but I'm too shy. what should I do? little info about it. he accepted my friend request on my birthday, June 23 this year, he lives in Minnesota while I live in Texas, and the last time we talked at all was on Facebook almost two and a half years ago and that was me just asking him to and me as a friend, and then him just saying no a few days after that but then he accepted it like I said toward the beginning. should I message him on Facebook? I'm really shy about it and I know at least while we were younger he had a crush on me. should I ignore the temptation or should I try sending him a message on Facebook? please help.
