You'll regret it if you do nothing. It doesn't have to be one extreme or the other.. It doesn't have to be - either asking him out on a date/ getting his no etc - OR - doing nothing at all.. Say hi, talk about something related to your subject.. just start a conversation with him. I think you should talk a couple of times before/after class.. then (if it feels right) you can give him your number or ask for his. Besides, if you do talk to him you'll be able to tell how he feels - body language/tone of voice.. all those things. Having a Scorpio moon I'm sure you have good intuition. At least you'd know whether there really is something between you.

You mentioned getting rejected. This is why I don't think you should jump in the opposite extreme and lay it out there. You'll get more hurt than you realize.. I don't think it's a good idea to be *that* forward, when you’ve never spoken to each other.

You seem a bit too hectic about it.. just relax, take a deep breath.. If it goes wrong, there will always be more fish in the sea. It's OK.. We all have a fate. If this isn't meant to be right now, something else will be and that something else will probably be much better for you – in the long run.
That doesn't mean you shouldn't try. If it doesn't work out, it doesn't.. but at least you'll know you tried.. It's all you can do, so don't beat yourself up about it. The rest is up to him and fate.

I am Aries rising. I really dont have a problem talking to people.

I would just walk right up and Say " Hello, I'm Blue (fill in your own first name). I think it would be interesting (fill in your own Adjective) to get to know you better. WOuld you like to go to (where ever) and talk.

OXOXOXOX

Think about it this way.. you're both human beings, you've both had a certain life experience.. 60 years from now you'll both be 6 feet under physically - alive spiritually.. This is so small in the scheme of things. The only reason it seems hard or embarrassing is the crappy social norms we have.. s*crew social norms. Nothing wrong with saying hi to someone. Whatever action you take.. if it is done for a positive reason and it doesn't hurt anyone.. no one has the right to make you feel bad or embarrassed about it.. Society with its rules about what's "appropriate" and what isn't, certainly doesn't.

You of all people - with the poo threads - should know that lol Deep down we're animal/human and spiritual.. and we're connected, so be genuine regardless of social crap and people will be genuine back.. you get what you give.

Look at it this way, if someone you didn't know well, who you've never spoken to.. said HI to you tomorrow.. would you honestly think wrongly of that person? Even if you weren't attracted and even if you never noticed them before.. your reaction wouldn't be a negative one.. right?
Not many ppl would get weird over someone at their school saying "hi, how are you?".. They'd just think "wow that person remembers me.. that's nice"

I called and spoke to her roommate the next day. She went to California, but she just got back the other day (this was confirmed by the dude at her work, who, last time I went in there, told me again how brave I am, and asked if he could pass along any message to her when she got back). I'd been thinking about calling her again all week. Another amazing girl has come into my life in the meantime, though, and I want to wait and see what happens with her.

Anyway. It can be done, especially if he's shy. It's harder, I think, to approach confident people. Just say, "Excuse me," and get his attention first (unless you know his name - that works, too). Then say, "My name's [state you friggin' name], and I just wanted to give you my phone number, and I'd really like it if you called me,". It might sound uninspired, but its honest and pure, and it might just work. Good Luck!

Here is what "I" would do if I were you...
next time you seen him smile, look in straight in the eyes and comment on the fact you keep running into him, (laughing of course) You could jokingly ask if he is following you, because you keep running into him. Lighten up, give it a shot.

Good advice you got on this thread. CF especially gave good advice.

What do you have to lose? If it's meant to be it will be. If not, well, it just wasn't meant to be.
