    Do nothing. Just continue as you are and let things happen naturally. If he really likes you back then he will make a move, if he doesn't he either has a girl already, is just a flirter or is too shy/paralysed with fear, if any of these is the case, you don't want him.
    If it's meant to be it will be. I've never had the patience to 'wait and see' but invariably things have worked out better for me if I let the guy make the first move. If he wants you enough he will, :-)) Have faith.

    Remember that he could be thinking the exact same thing. Wondering if he's taking the signals the right way etc..

    You have to either ask him out yourself or make it BLATANTLY obvious, seriously BLATANTLY obvious that you like him. You could just casually suggest you meet up to go to the same movie or something and see how it goes when you're alone together.

    We have a tendancy to think guys just know we like them when it's not like that at all, they have the same sort of confidence issues/insecurities about things like this that we do. :)

    I have a serious problem with some of that advice. If the guy is shy it's not fair on the OP to just say she doesn't want him. It can be hard to make a first move, especially as a teenager and not everybody is full of confidence at that age. Give the guy some encouragement and at least get it across to him that if he does want to ask, he won't be wasting his time. A lot of the shyness and fear can be caused by fear of rejection and looking like a fool. Some people take longer than others to get comfortable in their own skin and this could be the case with this guy.

    Hey Squonk,
    Sorry to hear about your serious problem. What I love about Boards is that we all get to give our opinion based on our own personal experiences.
    Sooo, it has been my experience that when I have made the first move with a guy it has invariably 'forced' a situation which may not have developed organically and ultimately didn't go well, and it has also been my experience that if a guy likes you ENOUGH he will make the first move, shy or not. So, yes, make sure he knows you like him (done) and then wait for his move.

    And it is also my opinion that if he can't find his nuts at 19 years of age, then he's better off at home with his mammy.
