So there's this guy in my class that I've had a crush on for AGES but I've never actually talked to him. I get all nervous when I try and I'll refuse to go anywhere near him. But recently, there is this rumor going on that he likes me too. And suddenly, I notice all sorts of signs. The other day, he was staring at me across the classroom. I'm so confused. I mean, it's just a rumor, right?

if you can't talk to him about this, ask a trusted friend to talk to him, however, it will be more truthful and the best way to handle this is to talk to him directly. Start a casual conversation and then say something like, "i heard a rumor that you liked me, i'm feeling very confused, so could you please tell me the truth?" if he is a friend, you could also just tell him that you like him but ask to keep the friendship. it's important to be direct. good luck! xx [ hallagal's advice column | Ask hallagal A Question ]
lightoftruth answered Tuesday June 12 2012, 5:10 pm: It's possible it is just a rumor but you'll never know unless you try to talk to him. You just need to talk to him like any other guy. Try to be his friend. Talk to him a little bit and gradually build it up. Eventually you two will become friends.
It's better to start relationships as friends than strangers who like each other. It'll just be awkward. If he doesn't like you like that, then you at least have a new friendship out of it. You really have nothing to lose. [ lightoftruth's advice column | Ask lightoftruth A Question ]

Start a friendship and see if it leads elsewhere. You have to know if you are even remotely compatible as people first. Talking to him is no different than talking to a friend or parent or aunt Agatha. He's going to pass on you if you don't even talk to him. He'll think it odd.
If you like him set up a group bowling session, see a movie as a group or whatever as that will take any pressure off. If he doesn't want to attend that's usually a strong signal that he has zero interest. You can't trust rumors but you should investigate further.
