so basically theres a guy in one of my classes that I think is really cute. I was always scared to talk to him but I got close with his friend so now I started talking to him. Recently we started talking on facebook on a group chat with like 2 other ppl. We have the same taste in music, and have stuff in common and we started saying hi in the hallways. Anyway, I want to start messaging him on my own but im scared he wont reply or that we will have a boring convo or hes going to be like '' why r u messaging me privately we can just talk in the group chat'' or something like that. I have a crush on him and I don't know what to do. Please don't say to message him privately. Be specific. and plus we're 14. And the other reason I don't want to message him is because about 1 month ago I messaged him and he replied but then he left me seen and didn't reply so yeah

Just keep it as it is. He doesn't seem ready for anything more serious.
