this guy.. Options

kay so, ive known this guy for a whole schoolyear. and i've kindof liked him since then. sorta. anyways, he's one of my good friends but i don't know. he's been with two of my friends (not that close) well one he was with and now currently. and everyone tells me to just talk to him or like start conversation, but i really can't. i'm not a shy person either. lol i like talk to all of his friends just fine, i talk to guys everyday and stuff, but i just cant talk to him that well. when i do talk to him, i chokeup and stuff. even if it's just as friends. i always talk to him on aim, and can tell him practically anything, but in person, it's different. and i'm not sure what this means but i always catch him looking at me, and staring at me and stuff. maybe its because i look weird or something but yeaah. he's asked me to dance a couple of times (on aim ofcourse) and i always just say no, because i can't. even though i really want to. what i just dont get is why i cant talk to him in person like i do to everyone else, especailly all of his friends.

well okay this is super long. and yeah, advice? i'm just confusedddd.
kaythanks.

well i'm a guy, but i've been in the same position.

the best thing to do is just try to talk to him. i was too nervous around a girl to talk in person (but we talked literally for hours on aim). it ended up taking me a year to get comfortable enough to talk to her in person and i regret it a lot. I wish i had just scraped up the courage in the first place and started talking to her then, because now i feel like i've lost what could have been an amazing year with her.

you need to try harder to talk to him or tell him how you feel because if you don't you're going to regret it. a lot.
