having a little trouble, reading his mind Options

[xBitterxSweetx]

so i like this guy, and i wanna ask him out... but i'm afraid of rejection. and i really don't know if he even thinks of me as a friend or not. we talk online sometimes. and whenever we talk its a really long convo and he's really funny. but then again sometimes we'd disagree on things and he'd say i just don't understand[he's 2 years older]

and when i'm around him its like one min he'd be all like flirty and everything and then the next, he'd pretend like i didn't exist. but then, i don't like his friends, and they know i don't like 'em, so they think i'm a big loser now. so maybe he's just pretending not to like me when he's around them. and then i see him lookin at my friend and i get all mad n all. arg, he's giving me mixed signals... it's so confusing.

what should i do? should i just go ahead and ask him. i don't wanna feel like a total idiot if he doesn't like me though. and i don't wanna feel weird around him afterwards. i've tried asking my friend to ask him who he likes, but he keeps those things to himself. and if i ask him, he might say no because of what his friends would think[i know, stupid. but i still really like him]

i've tried forgeting about him.. doesn't work, just makes me thinks about him even more.
