Hi, all-

So I’m a college student, and recently I met this guy. Long story short, I friended him on Facebook, followed him on Instagram, and added him on snapchat (not all at the same time, but over the course of a few weeks). He added me on Facebook and snapchat, and wished me a happy birthday on FB. I haven’t snapped him yet because I don’t know what to say AND I don’t want to scare him off.

Also, a friend of mine told me that a thing he used to have with another girl is ending. So that’s good, but I don’t really know how to proceed.

I seem to run into him all the time on campus, but I never can say hi because I’m too nervous. He doesn’t say anything either, which is ok I guess?

Also, I ran into once at a friend’s party and (bravely) approached him and said hi. We had a brief convo, mostly because the music stopped and everyone went to a different room. He was giving off the vibe that he wanted to stay in the basement, but I sort of panicked and went upstairs (like an idiot; I know I should’ve stayed!).

Basically I have no idea what to do now. Do I snap him? Do I just wait until the fall to pursue (school is ending for us)? HELP!!

You have to flirt with him. I know you’re probably freaked out at this prospect, but it’s something you have to learn how to do, and the reason is: it’s the best way to let someone know you’re interested. Believe it or not, he’s probably shy and scared, too — and unless you indicate that you’re interested, he may not feel confident enough to approach you or ask you out. If you simply flirt with him, it gives him something to chase after, without making him feel awkward or pressured, the way he might if you came out and told him how you feel. Simply smiling at him, laughing at his jokes, complimenting his sweater or asking him questions about himself, classes, a band — whatever it is — are ways to flirt. The more you do it, the easier it gets. 😉
