how cute are you and your little dog?!

anyway

do you know anything about his interests or what he likes to do on the weekends?
maybe you can find something you both like to do and hang out with him and get to know him. then you might start to feel a bit less shy

You're still at school.I would suggest you to concentrate on your studies, get good grades and enjoy life without the adult stuff....You can always have boyfriends later..

Ask him over to watch Glee's 'Silly Love Songs' episode together then pop the question to him......

Perhaps take some pressure off yourself and just ask him out on a date first?

This sounds like an excellent idea to me as it will give you time to reassess if you want to take that first move. No need to rush, just take it easy and matters will run their course.

Yes I agree with ammonite and Edward The Shy.

take it slowly.

get to know one another.

you make like him more as a result.

you make like him less.

either way you are better informed about how to proceed next.

and you have plenty of time!


ps. let us know how it goes.

Invite him over for a Brent Corrigan movie night.

Just leave out Gay Movie and stick to the porn.

Half way through the first one- he'll get the message loud and clear
It is no measure of health- to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.
