    Hey everyone,

    I know that the guy I like is into me. The problem is that I don't know him very well, so I don't know how to strike up a conversation with out of the blue. We are friends on Facebook (mainly because we are in the same major), but we have never really talked one-to-one. Since classes are out, my only options of talking to him are either a) waiting until next semester starts where he might already have another guy, or b) messaging him on Facebook.

    Again, I am 100% positive that he likes me, so really nothing could be too bad. I'm just looking for ideas of what I could say to make the initial message a little less awkward.

    Thanks in advance!

    It might just be a little awkward, and that's okay, honestly.
    But you can maybe talk about your schooling, what he's doing during his summer away from your work, etc.
    School is always an easy conversation starter, and it seems pretty innocent.

    Thanks for the suggestions. I know I'll be okay after that first message. I just need to think of something to say that isn't super lame haha.

    I wish he would've been single back when we were in class together

    Ask him how he's been, invite him out to go eat lunch, be somewhat flirty and see how he reacts. If it's good, then you are good to go! :wink:
