Hey i need some help

i like this boy in my college course and he is really shy and so am i but i dont think he likes me in the same way. I wanna try but i just cant get the confidence to go for it. I have tried talking to him on facebook but he only answers with one word answers which really annoys me. It doesnt help the fact that i am not that great at starting conversations so once i have asked all the normal questions (eg. how r u? and what have you been up 2?) we are always quiet. I have worked with him a few times but not really spoke to each other :S

Can some one give me some advise to get him to start talkin to me and some advise for me for conversation starters or ways to get my confidence up to talk to him

Thank you

LadyMech22 :)

Gosh! I think we've all been in a similar situation! I'm quite shy too, especially when it comes to talking to guys I like but I guess the way to overcome it is to talk to him in person to get to know him better. What is the connection between you two, class together? clubs? Chat to him about whatever it is that you have in common to start off with. You have to just pretend like he's anyone else on the course (because you wouldn't be so scared of talking to one of the girls or some guy you don't find attractive) and just be friendly. This way, by talking about common interests like that assignment you have to do or that prof who's so amusing, you can strike up a friendship and get to know him better as a person and that'll help you to decide whether you would actually like to go out with him or whether you're just lusting. When you feel more comfortable with him, whilst you chat to him, you can flirt a bit by asking him for advice, laughing at his jokes, complimenting him etc. and also a big smile and maybe a flick of the hair and a tap on the arm if he says something funny won't go amiss. He'll get the picture and if he responds well then he'll ask you out, either that or you'll know the time is right to ask him!!!
