one of my friends did a chat room on AIM with his friends and me. one of his friends was the only other person there my age and we talked for a bit. a few weeks later he IMed me again and we talked a little more and i enjoyed talking to him (not sure about him). We have a lot of similar interests. I met him once at youth group but we didnt talk much and now we hardly talk on AIm either.
I want to be friends with him, but i can't really figure out a way to do that if he doesnt really talk to me anymore and the idea of just asking him "will you be my friend" sounds really retarded, even in my mind. He goes to a different school and i only know him through my other friend.
So basically my question is... how i can become friends with him if he hardly talks to me and i only see him rarely at youth group?

I read your problem and i understand what your trying to say. And he sounds like a really sweet guy and all.
I don't think i really have anything to say about this topic, but i have suggestion i though mabye i could tell you about. umm...why don't you IM him as he IMed you,and then mabye you could talk together.
Look, everyone likes to make friends and have freinds, and there are alot of friendly people in this world, and i am sure that he is one of them too. So next time when you see him in youth group, start talking about anything that comes to your mind. You said that you have alot in common and alot of similat interests , than just open any topic with him ,and keep talking. Be really sweet and funny and lots of fun, because thats why guys like, and sit with him, and hang around,and then he'll start talking to,and you will be good friends. Because all it needs is just communication. You can't go and tell him " i want you to be my freind" because he's just gonna look at you and say" we are already friends",and he won't understand what you really want from him. But these things happen natural, we can't tell one another that we are friends or best friends, thats just who we are.
so goodluck and try to go with some of the suggestions i said and consider it, and if you need any further help or advice, please be free to contact me. [ Lola's advice column | Ask Lola A Question ]
