so, there was this boy i saw in 06, at a show, and we had this.. i dont know, unspoken understanding of each other. it was like, mutual, smiling, laughing, not very much talking, he left before the show ended (it was in a small coffee shop), I never thought I'd see him again. speed up 07, i saw him the other day, talked to him even, he didnt remember me. But i wouldnt expect him to... haha, but now I know where he works. I dont even know if he has a girlfriend, but how do I casually like.. I want to hang out with him or something.. ahhh. (link)
Maybe just pop in his work one day and try and say hello. If he works in a restaurant or store, make it seem as if you're there for the same reasons as any other customer. Try and talk to him, and if things go well, ask if he'd like to spend time with you.


13/f ok theres this guy i really like and hes in my class (our skools gay so we just alternate class rooms with the same ppl) and hes one of my best guy friends. and i cant tell if he likes me. He sits with my group of friends at lunch and we always sit next to eachother. thats where my bestfriend comes in. shes been acting like a big baby latley and keeps bugging me about why i took her spot at the lunch table. apparently her "spot" is next to the guy i like. She knows i like him alot too and she usually gets all the guys. Anyways back to the guy part. I always walk with him home from school and we always talk about random things like music and school and whatever else we can think of. And when we're not talking to eachother i noticed that he always looks at me. Like once i was walking with my bff (yes the jelous one) and he was walking ahead of us and he kept looking back to where me and my friend were. So i have no idea what to do!! and Sorry for it being so long!

I'd say that he likes you. Or at least is intrested in you. If he pays attention to you, like you say he does, then its worth checking out. You should first deal with your friend though.
Tell her that finding guys isn't as easy for you as it is for her, and that she should let you alone. Tell her that the lunch table 'spot' is important to you because you're in pursuit of the boy. If she gets mad, then ask her if maybe you guys could take turns about who sits there.

And about the guy in question, if you don't feel comfortable telling him straight out that you like him, then maybe you should ask him to the movies or something, with a group of friends. Maybe since he knows her too, you, your best friend, and him could do something together. That way in a group it would be easier and more comfortable for you.
Then if you guys have fun, you ahd him could go on a more private outing together. It wouldn't even have to be a 'date'. It could just be a hang out at your house or something.
But try different things. I know that taking the first step with guys is awkward because most girls liks boys to make the first move. It makes us feel special, right?? But if he hasn't made a move already, he might just be shy.
So I would try hanging out with him outside of school a few times first. It would not only be a different setting, it would allow you to see more of his personality and figure out if he is the right guy for you.

Good Luck!

Oh, and when you catch him looking at you, make eye contact and smile a little bit. If he blushes or smiles back, then he definately likes you!!
