Then you can slowly graduate to phone calls and talking in person. If this guy makes you feel like this, then chances are you make him feel the same way. He's probably nervous too. But if he's not then try those methods that i mentioned earlier.
Cliche Time: Just be yourself
Try this too: Try talking to him like he is one of your girlfriends, minus the girl "topics".

Everyone gets nervous when they really like someone so the key is to not show it. A way to get rid of this is by breathing before you speak to him. Continue to say in your head "I can do this". If you are in an area where there is alot of people it makes you less stress becasue there are people all around. Have you friend start up the conversation about soemthing you and the guy would ahve in common. She will ask your opinion. You will give it and he will say "yeah I totally agree". After you guys speak take a small breathe to relieve any extra stress in your stomach. It perfectly normal to feel the tension. Try stretching before too becasue it will help relax your muscles.
