Okay so, I've liked this guy for about a year and a half now but I don't know how to say it. I'm an awkward person to begin with and we do talk to each other now and again but I really do like him. I'm 90% sure he doesn't like me back and if he does I'll be surprised. Can someone tell me how to tell him without looking weird and stuttering and freezing?

There's no instant fix for that but is something you'll need to work on to become more self confident. I do know of ways to do so, I used to be like that and I am cured of those fears of talking to people and such. I can share that with you but thats not what you asked.
So if you are confident enough to approach him and easily talk to him, here's how you do it without putitng him on the spot and making him feel awkward answering to the negative.
"I have enjoyed the time we've known each other, and we seem to get along well enough the little time we have seen each other. I was wondering if you think we might have enough in common to explore whether we could be boyfriend-girlfriend. What do you think?"
Here, you ask for his opinion and presented an idea. You wouldn't be saying I have a crush on you and want to know if you want to date. This leaves feelings out of the picture and concentrates only on surface level attraction. Dating is more for allowing any feelings to develop if the initial attraction is there on both sides which is what you need to know and will find out with this question. If he is attracted, he'll said yes unless he's in a relationship right now you dont know about. Or he'll say no and thats the end of it. Without mutual attraction to even date to discover if he has feelings, it won't happen. [ Dragonflymagic's advice column | Ask Dragonflymagic A Question ]
