Ok so I really like this guy and he sits behind me in one of my classes and today something special happened. well for me it was special because i'm not experienced with guys. we had to do this activity where one person in a group of like 6 had to be the boss and had to write the answer of a question down on a piece of paper. Most of my group chose the guy that I liked (he's in my group fyi) and he didn't want to do it so then he gave the paper to me. I took my pencil and started writing our group names and just then he put his hand on my shoulder and said "good luck" I looked at him and we both smiled.
Then we won that round so we earned candy. My teacher gave me a candy that i hated so i said "anyone want mine" and a few people said "oh i do!" including the guy i liked, so i gave it him and smiled.
then we played another round of that game and this time he was the boss. he wrote down an answer and then looked at me (an I'm-not-so-sure, is-this-right? sort of way) and I looked at him and we sorta had a moment where we just looked into our eyes for like 5 seconds. Then i said "yeah thats right" and smiled and then we won that round too but no candy.
Thats the only good thing that happened but what bad happened was that before all of this happened we had to get in our groups and write an essay from our homework assignments. usually our group is goofing off except him and I so we normally do it ourselves. but this time all of our group was participating so he never talked to me during that and never looked at me.
does any of this mean anything? How can I talk to him about stuff other than school? I want to make sure it doesn't sound stupid because i don't want to just all of a sudden bring up stuff about non-school. make sure it transitions smoothly. help?
oh and if it helps, my best friend lives by him...
thanks so much and sorry its so long. I REALLY like him! he is so perfect for me.
Try seeing if you can spend some time interacting with him outside of school, if you don't already. This can be something little like messaging him a "hi" on facebook/myspace and talking to him on msn, or as much as a bigger step of asking him to hang out with you sometime in the afternoon. Take it slow and casual and see what happens as you are hanging out with him more. If the whole "I like you" vibe keeps coming from him, you can think about making anything between you guys more official.
TO talk about non-school stuff, communicating outside of school would definitely help. The topics you introduce don't necessarily need to be huge or deep or personal. Start out with questions like "how was your weekend/march break?" and take it from there. Non school conversations generally happen naturally after you interact with someone for long enough.

I mean you need to have a regular conversation, even if its about school, before you think of making anythin. you need a friendship first. so i think that even if it takes talking about school the first few times, that you need to do it. he may be just as scared to talk to you as you are. so why not just ask him a simple question like can you explain how to do the math prob? --he explains-- thanks i'm soo bad at math and then after a few convos you could just say i think i need a totor and see if he says anything. i think that a relationship here will really blossom if you to actually connect and are able to talk to one another without feeling scared. also, if your shy i think that maybe you could start off easy. the main thing that you need to remember that if you really like him as much as you say you do, it shouldn't matter what you talk about but rather that your talking to him. so take a chance and walk up to him and say hi whats up. after all, lifes to short to be shy!
