Today at the 5th grade pizza party he stared at me dancing,I mean, I'm a good dancer because people were clapping for me and taking videos… but when I looked at him he looked away. He does a awful lot of staring and flashing smiles at me… but never actually interacts with me… every now and then we have a short conversation… I'm not the type to babble like an idiot when talking with a crush, and he seems a little shy about it… I'm not sure how to approach him, how? And do you think he likes me?
So since he might be shy, you can go ahead and make the first move if you feel confident enough.
Do you guys talk? If not, then I'd suggest talking to him. Get to know him and maybe start subtly flirting with him and see how he reacts to it. It helps to make them feel more comfortable.
So I'd say start with flirting, see where that goes and try to see how he reacts. Eventually you guys can become close enough to hang out and if he agrees, he's most likely interested in you. [ lightoftruth's advice column | Ask lightoftruth A Question ]

The first is the making eye contact and staring and looking away and staring again and the smiles. The smiles are a signal to another person that the person is friendly and open to being approached in conversation with you. At your age due to no previous experience, you aren't catching the signals yet. Dont worry, we all start there. He may be shy and also scared cus he doesnt know how to talk to a girl and has no clue what to do first.
What he has done so far is something we automatically do without thinking about it. there are many other types of body language signs we automatically give off without often being aware of it. Here's some to help you. When you approach him, stand close enough so that if you left your arm your could tap him on the shoulder. This means you are in his personal space. If a person is not interested in you, it will feel uncomfortable and they will step back a pace or two to re create space between you. Again most people dont realise they do this. If he stays his ground, then he's comfortable with you. So start talking to him about anything you have in common, a certain class, teacher, things going on at school. Think of some questions you might ask ahead of time, have several in case he doesnt have an answer for you on one like "Whats your favorite band?" "Oh I dont really have any favorite." In that case you could say, well mine is_____, what would you like to talk about or what would you like to ask me? Take the pressure off of him if he's feeling too shy and do some talking. Once he's feeling comfortable he should warm up to you and have no trouble talking about anything. His shyness is probably only about how to approach a girl to start talking so if you start, he'll likely jump right in and be glad to talk. If your conversation goes well for the next few days,later you can pass him a note with the question "Do you like me? and two boxes, one labeled yes and one for no so he can put his x on it.
