Just talk to him. Sound shy but still be able to look at him and smile. Nothings worse for a guy than if a girl walks over all loud and tall and says that she likes him. Guys like girls who can be shy and yet gather courage to talk to him. I know I would be all like: Omg she's adorable. While an overconfident girl would make me: Yikes how can I live up to her demands?

As long as you don't propose to him from the first date, it's ok. Joking. It is preferable to start with tactfulness. If you give him very much attention and "spy" for occasions to talk to him you're not in advantage. Normally you may feel somewhat nervous/worried especially being unexperienced, but take things step by step and don't necessarily try to make an impression. Treat him as any of your friends. You can strike up "randomly" a casual conversation with him, even to talk about weather or the last concert you've been to. The friendship can develop gradually and eventually it will reach a phase when you'll feel comfortable talking even of your feelings. For now, try and discover what you have in common and as I said, speak to him as you would to a friend and take it from there. Good luck!

Ears4tears agony auntMy advise would be to BE YOURSELF dont try to be someone your not it only ends in heart break. Just be cool calm and friendly. Chat with him and let him get to know the real you,that way he wont feel pressurised and if you feel after getting to know him he isnt really for you then no one would of got hurt and your free meet someone new. Your only young once... so have some fun!!!
