Hi!
I'm thirteen years old and in the eighth grade. There's this guy at my school who I like...a lot. He's a really sweet guy, but I've only known him for about a month and a half. I don't know how he feels, though...we've only really had conversations when we did group projects in class. Whenever I see him in the hallway, he usually just smiles in my direction. Sometimes he'll call my name and wave. The problem is that this really popular girl likes him, too, and at the last school dance they slow danced together (she asked him). He seems like the "too nice to refuse" type, but I don't know whether they're dating or not. HELP!

When it comes to school dances it's not unusual for both girls and guys to have multiple dance partners. It doesn't mean they're together but you do need to check.
You'll never go out with anyone if you don't talk to them and let them know you're alive. Talking to him is no different than talking with a friend. Talk about both you interests and expand from there.
Just do it and don't think about it. You're making it into something bigger than it has to be by allowing yourself to be afraid. Remember guys feel the same talking to girls. You just have to do it to get what you want.
If needing to figure out if he's in to you I would invite him to go to a movie, bowling etc. etc. with a group of friends. If he decline you would then know without asking for a real date where you stand with him. [ solidadvice4teens's advice column | Ask solidadvice4teens A Question ]
