Crystal_0408 answered Saturday March 20 2004, 10:23 am: Well hon, sometimes the only thing you can do, is pick yourself up when you fall (not being funny).. if you want a chance with him, let him know it by your emotions around him, by the way you act, if he cant see that YOU do fall for him all the time- maybe you should just let him go, there is a right guy for every person to know, to love. So if he isnt the one, but you think he is, maybe he isnt.. you gotta trust the YOU in yourself before you can believe in love! hope this helps... if you need more advice just ask!

If he's not already one of your good friends, you might find it easier to start with approaching him on a non-romantic level. Maybe it'll feel like less pressure if you're just trying to strike up a conversation with him, rather than ask him out.
Once you get to know him better, and feel more comfortable around him, it won't be such a big deal to ask him out on a date -- I mean, it'll be scary, but it'll be the same kind of scary *everyone* has to struggle with when they like someone. Just remind yourself that he should be flattered by your interest (and that even if he says no, it's not the end of the world and not something for you to be embarrassed by -- it happens to most people at some point).

I'm sorry to have to say this, but you are going to have to get over your SAD if you want a chance with this guy.
Maybe you could first writ him a note asking to meet him someplace private, that way you don't have to deal with hords of people being around at the same time.
