Hi! I'm really needing advice right now on how to talk to my crush. I have two classes with him and and my lunch with him also. But here's the problem: he's really awkward. Honestly I've never really seen him talk to girls unless they're the one going up to him and even then he just gives like one word responses. I've only seen him passionately talking to his guy friends about xbox, other than that he keeps a straight face. I know some stuff about his family from last year (no i wasn't stalking it was just like the neighborhood drama) and maybe that's why hes so awk... But anyways, I finally kinda had the courage to talk to him today but then when we were leaving lunch i was with my two friends and he was right behind us, then they both turned around and said hi to him, and he just said hi back but looked, as usual, just stiff... So my friends went one way and I went the way he usually goes ( :3 ) and I heard one of my friends shout out " (his name) TALK TO AMANDA!!! (me), and I glanced around and he was just looking at me and I couldn't read what his facial expression was because again HE KEEPS A STRAIGHT FACE D; Recently I've been trying to go next to him and I've noticed he looks at me whenever I'm around and when we make eye contact i usually look away really fast and I get a feeling he's still looking. Someone seriouslyyyy help me I really like him and I don't know what to do now that I'm pretty sure my friends made it so that he knows I like him ): Thanks Oh and also, one of his super close friends is my locker buddy (were right next to each other so I see him every day) and were friends, but not close friends. Should I ask him for advice?? Another one of his friends I have known since kindergarten but we kinda faded I just want to ask someone who is friends with him but I'm afraid they will tell him ):

your life should be shown as a high school series on TeenNick or such.^^

but seriously, imo, the only thing you can or should do is talking to him in a directly way.
