Ever since the guy that I liked told me that he likes me back, it has been really awkard between us. The thing is that we liked each other since 7th grade but we never really said anything til this year. When we see each other in the hallways in school we just look at each other and we don't say anything. I'm told that I should be the one to talk to him first but I'm just scared and I don't really know what I can say besides hi. When I see him or when we look at each other itz like I just freeze up and I get these butterflies in my stomach. What should I do?
Additional info, added Monday May 29 2006, 12:18 am: I forgot to add that I'm 16 years old, if that helps. My friend talked to him for me and told me that he said that there is nothing that we can say to each other and he doesn't want to lose our relationship if things go wrong..

if you're the one who feels this way you should be the bigger person and start talking to him first.
just start a conversation with him and ask him some questions when you see him.

Approaching someone for a date can be scary, especially if you feel lacking in confidence. You replay the scene in your mind, again and again, imagining the very worst. The thing is, though, the thought of asking someone out is usually much worse than actually doing it. After all, the bloke you like will more than likely be really flattered you made the effort to seek him out. If the tables were turned, wouldn't you be?
As far as actually asking him out is concerned, you don't have to make a big song-and-dance act out of it. Just make sure to approach him when he's alone, not with his mates. That can be intimidating even for the most confident of Casanovas. Begin by just being a friend, rather than a girlfriend-in-waiting, and just aim to get to know him better. You'll soon suss if he shares your affections, without any awkwardness or embarrassment. If it's clear he's not interested romantically, he's likely to respect you as a friend, and if there's a spark then consider taking things further by arranging a date.
You also don't have to ask him on the most elaborate date in history. Rome wasn't built in a day, so start slowly. Invite him out for a coffee, or maybe to the cinema if you know he's into films. The benefits of catching a movie together are twofold: you'll both be entertained and have something to talk about afterwards.
First dates are often the toughest, but the more time you spend together the more relaxed you'll become. So give it your best shot, and enjoy the experience, whatever the outcome.
Go for it i'm sure you can do it otherwise you will always be wondering and thinking

Womet answered Monday May 29 2006, 12:22 am: Try to figure out the cause of your fear - only then can you face it. Maybe you're afraid of rejection, or commitment, or whatever. And try not to think of talking to him as such a daunting task - he's probably dealing with the same fears you are.
While I hope things work out for you, I think you should also use this as an opportunity for self reflection and growth. [ Womet's advice column | Ask Womet A Question ]

If you do like this guy, and you've liked him for a while, you migh want to consider saying something to him. Shyness is a part of the begining of a relationship, and it's completely natural. Feelings now are different because one of you has been open about how they feel. Yes, things are changed between you two now, but whether that's a good or bad change is up to you. If you do like him, be brave! ^_^ Sit with him at lunch, say hello when you see him. He's probably nervous that he's screwed things up and is waiting for you to answer.
snowi answered Monday May 29 2006, 12:16 am: It is perfectly normal that you get all nervous and get butterflies, believe me I feel like that too. I think you should say Hi and start a conversation about some thing you both are intrested in, like hobbies.
