It seems a lot of people are criticizing you because you only seem to like him because he's "hot". I say, give the girl a break. I'm sure that's not the only reason she's interested, but let's be honest--the think that normally catches our eye is someone's physical features, at least at first; of course, usually there are more reasons why we stick around.

A lot of people have said to let it go because he's going to graduate soon. I say, don't let that stop you. Too many people worry about how such a thing might ruin a "serious relationship," how it can't "go far" because he's leaving. You're a teenager; don't worry about the seriousness, just have fun for now. Live in the present, not the future.

You also said you feel weird "just talking to him randomly". Well, the unfortunate fact of the matter is that there are only a few ways to get to know someone, and in your case, it boils down to two options: talk to him "randomly", or get introduced. Since it seems you can't secure an introduction, talking to him randomly is your only bet. It's not as dangerous as you might think. Most people like someone striking up a friendly conversation; I'm sure he won't bite you.

My advice? I'd at least talk to him. Maybe not look to getting together seriously--he is older and leaving soon, after all--but hey, maybe you could at least hang out or date for fun for a while. Which will you regret more: getting turned down, or never talking to him in the first place?
