dont know what to do next

hey guys
well i sort of have another problem. so i have this guy that i like from school, and we used to have a class together where we would talk alot and became friends, but this was pretty much the only place we saw eachother. now all our classes are switched and i never really see him anymore, when we see eachother in the hall we say hey and everything but we dont have time to say more. i have him on AIM, and we talk there whenever we're both online, but its not the same as in real life. i feel like for the first time in soo long i can actually go somewhere with this guy, but i have no idea what to do now to keep this from just fading away! im not the type of girl that can be like "i like you lets date", i can do a little bit but not go that far, but even so i dont know what to do.

so can you guys pleeeasse help? i know i sound so annoying probably but this sucks.. i never get chances like this and its all gonna slip away and i dont want it to. how can i get him to like ask me out or something? ANYTHING! and i cant just tell him how i feel, i dont have those sorta guts lol. i dont know! AHH . please help

i can give more details if you need them

thanks so much guys

k well ill give more details anyway, i figure the more the better for all of us. so well he acts like he sort of likes me back i guess, like we sometimes spend like half an hour just talking to eachother and i dont know.. its different with him you know? than with other guys i mean. and whenever we see eachother he smiles and he acts like he wants to talk to me, and he looks at me alot, like even if we are in a group of people. i act really flirty with him sometimes, like i'm sure he knows i like him anyway just because of the way i act around him, but i guess im afraid to actually SAY it. but now i actually only see him like.. once a day, and thats for no longer than like a minute. and like i said we talk on AIM but its not the same! i dont know what to do guys... i really want to get this guy

You have to tell him, that's all there is to it. People always say that they try to flirt with someone they like, or drop hints about how they feel, but guys are stupid. We'll often just dismiss it as you being a flirtation person or not pick up on the hints. The only way you'll feel better is to actually tell him and get it out into the open rather than wonder. I know how hard it can be when you're afraid of losing a friend as well but trust me it's better to know than to continue second guessing yourself (if the answer is no, just make sure that he KNOWS that you want to be friends no matter what and you'll be okay, nothing should change seriously).

alright thanks, if i can gather up the courage i would.. but what would he do? like what do guys think when a girl does that? will he like, never want to talk to me again? lol sorry, im just so nervous ill get rejected and everything will be awkward and i'll be left humiliated. and also do you have any advice as to how to tell him?

He definately won't never want to talk to you again. If he doesn't feel that way about you just tell him that you still really want to be friends if you can't be anything more and the relationship shouldn't really be effected. I know it's scary, I had to do the same thing a while ago because I couldn't keep questioning every little thing, and although the answer was no (it hurts :( but in time you realize that it was always no, finding out didn't actually change anything) we are still friends.

k thank you so much! its really true so i might as well give it a shot.. well advice is still welcome but im definitely considering just telling him or hinting towards wanting to go out or smthing. thanks so much!
