I told one of my guy friends that my crush was staring at me one day and my guy friend told me that he likes to play this thing they call it "the staring game" with girls. Its when they just stare at you and stuff. But i dont like that game because you might think if theres something on your face. I am a very very shy person also. And I told my other guy friend that I liked this kid and i told him to find out who he likes but it ended up that my guy friend told him that i liked him. so it was really awkward for me. And 90% of the time they want you to make the move. So in your case i think you should make the move. I think Rate stuff means that they rate girls on a scale to 1-10. i know its stupid but thats what they do. [ CLASSICbeautyxo4's advice column | Ask CLASSICbeautyxo4 A Question ]

Or: one asks the other out, and possbily goes out together.
So I would just ask him, I mean, what do you have to lose? At least you'd definetely know how he feels about you then, and you got it out of the way. It'll drive you NUTS after awhile wondering if you should ask him out, believe me, so it's best just to take a chance and get it out of the way. You only live once, and you could be missing out on a great boyfriend.
If he likes you, great!
If he doesn't, then that's his loss. And you can always just then be like,"Alright. Well, I hope we can be friends still, though. I don't want everything to be awkward because I just asked you that." And work toward making it less awkward, if it becomes that way. Just keep the conversation flowing and treat him like you always have before you let him know you liked him.
But it sounds to me like he does if he's staring at you and walking you down the hallway and everything. Alot of guys don't do that to girls unless they like them.
I would just suggest a hang out if you want to do it face-to-face, or just do it whatever other way you feel most comfortable ( internet, note, whatever ) and do it and just tell him. If you're going to do it face-to-face, just hang out with him and have a great time together and at the end of the night just be like,"Hey, I got something to tell you. I really like you, ____. And if you don't like me back, that's fine, I still want to be friends with you then at least, but if I don't tell you, I'm going to burst, haha." And just see what he says, and where it goes from there.
If you tell him in an instant message/email or note just do the same thing. Be like,"Hey, I wrote you this note/email because I have to tell you something, and I'm too nervous and shy to do it myself, face-to-face, so I didn't want to be near you whenever you read it.
I really like you, ____.
I don't know how you feel about me or anything, but sometimes I'd get the hint you do, and I just felt I should take the chance anyway, you liking me or not. It's been driving me nuts trying to figure out if I should tell you, so I just decided, what the heck? You only live once.
If you like me, that's great, and I hope we can date and everything. Maybe we can hang out sometime soon over the weekend. :)
But if you don't, that's fine also. I just hope the friendship won't become awkward because of this. I'll try my hardest to make it as less awkward as possible, and I hope you'll try too because I really value our friendship, and I wouldn't want us to stop being friends over something like this."
( Or something like that, just let him know of your thoughts and feelings ).
