 No worries, IAmHereToHelpYou, we are still two peas in a pod :). I will graciously and officially concede that you have much much more than me the pulse of what's hot and what's not in teenage circles, and that my advice is inevitably influenced not just by my age ( I've got relatives in their 70's that are FB addicted ) , but also by my personal,slightly irrational coldness / distaste for social networks. Also, it must be geographical, Italian young people still DO phone and text a lot, in addition to FB - maybe they have good phone plans ,go figure.
So, without actually recanting mine, as you will see, I recognize that your advice is sound and probably makes a lot of sense.
I do not recant what I said , nevertheless- because anyway it's never too early to become self confident, independent thinkers. Do you wish to do something, OP ?- Then, as long it won't send you to jail, won't harm your physical and mental health, and won't hurt the rights and dignity of anybody- go ahead and do what you wish, who cares about " weird ". Weird is a fluid term, people use it for everything from wearing white after Labour's Day to dating someone from another race , ultimately you have to decide what is weird or not.

give him your number. Your crush, ok, go ahead. BUT! make sure your parents are ok with this!!!! Your parents might not want guys to have your number. Ask them before anything. and people DO text iamheretohelpyou. I text the guy i like all the time and nobody cares. because we are Not dating. hope i helped:)

OP the guy knows you like him and has done nothing about that, what are you expecting to happen here? That giving him your number will make him like you or something? probably best to let that one go, he's obviously not interested in you and you're most likely just going to torture yourself here.
Facebook is easier, but by all means give the guy friend your number to stay in contact if you like.
or you could send him your whatsapp, kik, snapchat or skype instead.

Go ahead and give them your number. It's just a phone number, it's not a marriage proposal !
There's nothing weird if you wish to stay in touch, one is a good friend, and the other is a crush .. who knows he is a crush and he's OK with it.
Just give them your number, then the ball is in their court, if they stay in touch great, if not... you'll survive somehow :)
Just tell them : " Hey, here's my number, I'd like we'd stay in touch when school's out, drop me a line when you have time, OK ? ".
