writes: Dear cupid, there is this guy who lives down my street, i like him. For sometime now, he's been giving me this kind of look that makes me thinks he likes me and wants to be friends with me. Anytime he sees me, he smiles at me and i dont smile back because I'm always shy when i see him. The problem is that since he started with the smiling thing, he hasn't made any attempt to approach me talk less wanting to talk to me and its really wearing me out because i like him already and would like to be his friend. My question is should I approach him and ask him to be friends? Or will i be going too far by doing that? Any comment will be appreciated. Thanks.

I understand your situation. If he is nice it does not cost anything to return a smile especially if he is the first one to give such. I understand you can be shy. No harm in smiling and showing him your pearly whites. You just do not know where this could go? This could become the best relationship in your life so far. Move forward,everything is going to work out just fine. No do not approach at this time. Just return a smile if he gives you one the next time he sees you.

I agree with Starlights. Smile back. Do you have any mutual friends? Let them know that you are hoping he will speak with you.

I suggest this idea: Next time he smiles at you try smiling back quickly (to avoid shyness). This will make you appear more "friendly," towards him and he may approach you to talk.
You don't need to ask him to be your friend (as that may appear desperate or too keen) so take it slowly, step by step is my advice.
Goodluck :)
