writes:So... there's this guy that I like. I actually met him last week. But, he's my dad's friend's son.Here's what happened... I was with my dad when my crush's parents came up to me and just started talking to me. They had asked for my name and age and said that I must be Roger's daughter (my dad's name). Then they shook my hand and walked over to their son, my crush, and talked to him. My friend thinks that they were either: (1) Trying to set me up with him, (2) He told them that he liked me, so, naturally, as his parents, they'd go over and talk to his crush, (3) He asked them to ask about me, (4) Just coincidence.Then, my dad and I went to talk to his parents later and we (my dad, him, his parents, and I) all talked. Since it was more of a "group" conversation, he and I only said limited things to each other. We were all talking about sports and how I would play next year, I said that if I was competing against him to bring it on.Then that was it.I'm going to see him again this week, but it'll be the last time for a few weeks. Now I have a base to talk to him with, my friend thinks that I should just ask for his number. But, I'm too shy! What if he says no?! I'd be so embarrassed. My friend says, "He's a guy. Why would he say no?" If he has a girlfriend he would... My steps are simple: I'll just talk to him calmly, and when he leaves (not go home, just goes to his parents or whatever reason) I'll say, "I hope to talk to you later" if he responds "Yeah" or something then I'll continue with more steps. Good plan? Should I ask for his number? I don't want to do it the MOMENT I talk to him. Plus, since I'll be gone for a few weeks, one of those weeks I'll be at the beach, and he doesn't live far from where I'm going. Should I ask to hang out?I'm soooo nervous to talk to him, but I'm going to try my best to resist my shyness. Any advice?(Also, any tips to try not to blush while talking to him? I can't seem to stop my face from turning red when I'm with a guy, it's so embarrassing and causes me to lose focus and all desire to have him see me that way.)

Try to take slow, deep breaths and talk at a steady and even pace, just like you were talking to a friend or something. If you can shift the conversation to him, and show him that you're a good listener, that could help you stay calm too.

Not "Do you want to hang out"
If he says yes to this say "well how am I going to get ahold of you?" He should then give you his number.
Your plan is a great one. If you get his number it's easy to text and figure out plans such as the beach from there.
