15/f. i kinda like this kid, well i do like him. but anyway, last night i was talking to him online for like an hour and we were actually having like a real conversation and it was cool. but in school, its so different. i'm really shy, so online i'm good, but in person i dont know what to say. i was going to atleast smile or say hi to him today in school but i never got the chance. and he didnt do anything either so i think he's also a little shy. so how can i end up becoming atleast friends or more with him? i need to take small steps i cant just walk up to him and start a conversation b/c im like really shy. and i need to atleast become somewhat friends with him cuz i only have 2 weeks of school left and he's gonna be gone like almost the whole summer. and who knows if ill have any classes with him next year. helpppppp!

Why not, the next time you two are having a conversation on-line, talk about the next day you'll be in school, if it's monday, then say something like, hey are you going to be in school on monday? Cause if you are, can I meet you some place, cause I have something for you, (maybe a CD or CD of music you downloaded, or something, think of something that is "no big deal" that you could give him. And see what he says.
Maybe it is just the little push he needs. Then make the best of it. If it works try it again in a couple of days, and then before school is out, make plans to meet one day over your summer vacation.
HOpe it works out for you

make eye contact or something one time.
smile and mumble/say a hi.
& i know you said you "can't just walk up to him and start a conversation" but you can try.
'cause i don't know what else to do.
to start a conversation, ask him about himself.
then if you can relate what he said to something that happened to you or someone you know, tell him that.
& then that might trigger something that happened to him or someone he knows.
etc.
but whenever the conversation, like, dies, just ask more about himself.
unless you would like to just tell him more about yourself.
but shy people don't usually like to talk about themselves.
anyways, i say something 'safe' like, "you know what i hate? when you get gum on your shoe and stuff." etc.
or maybe just say hi, blahblahblah, and kind of walk with him a little.
