Hey, :)
Okay, so I like this guy at my school. He is 2 years older than me. He knows me just by name. But he's just driving me crazy. I just like really like him. My best friend is his best friend too, So i asked him if he could hook me up with him? and my best friend says he's out of my league. My friends say my best friend likes me, but that doesn't matter to that much. I just really want that guy to like me. What should I do?

If your mutual friend likes you, then he could easily be saying the guy is out of your league to try and turn you off him, so it's probably best to ignore that. Bear in mind, though, that this friend could be a bit of a problem - but if you and this guy did end up liking each other, it wouldn't be a big enough problem to stop you getting together. It could just complicate things a bit.
Firstly, you just need him to notice you more. Smile and say hi when you see him. Start making excuses to ask him a question or compliment him. Strike up conversation on Facebook. (Do this gradually, though - if you do it all in one go, you could scare him off, and your intentions might be too obvious.)
After this, find ways of meeting up with him - if you know he's going to a party, try to go too, and talk to him when you're there. Hold a gathering or party yourself, and invite him along. Start inviting him and his friends out with your friends - it shouldn't seem too odd if you already have a friend in common. Always talk to the guy yourself, instead of asking your mutual friend to invite him along, as your friend might not pass the message on if he likes you.
Once you consider him a friend, you can start talking to and flirting with him on a more personal level - spend more time with him if you're both out with friends, talk to him more on Facebook, don't be afraid to go up to him and chat to him if you see him around. If you get good vibes from him, maybe ask him to a one on one thing in an innocent kind of way - for example, say he knows how to play an instrument, you could ask him to teach you how.
If that goes well, you could properly ask him out.

Age is no problem as long as you two understand eachother and respect one another. So, I think you should ignore what your friend said about this guy being "out of your league". How would he know if you have chemistry with this guy or if you two can relate? Most likely, he has no idea. He is not you. If you like this guy, you should go for him. I think your friends should support you in liking someone and if your other friend does like you, but you just want the other guy, you should still shoot for your goal. Always follow your heart. It is never good to miss out on a chance of happiness with someone you care about. If your friend really is your best friend, he will get over it and still be friends with you after the fact.
Start by saying hi to this guy you like in the hall, then asking him to hang out with you. Once you start talking, things will come easier. Find out if you have common interests and ask him to do those things together (movies, sports, games). Smile, communicate, flirt and you will have no trouble <3 [ gr8fruit's advice column | Ask gr8fruit A Question ]

I think hes either protecting you and doesn't want you to get hurt by this ''out of your league guy'' or he just likes you and doesn't want you to be with him. I think I wouldn't be asking THROUGH someone to hook up with you... I think you should be doing that on your own showing that you can be a women and have the guts to ask if they want to hook up. That's the only right way to do it , do it face to face and if he likes you back don't worry he will ask you to hang out and hook up simple as that :).
