How can I make him like me? Does he? How do I hang around him more?

This sounds more - less than my life! Just, he doesn't have a girfriend and i'm don't know what he thinks about me. So, when he looks at you like that, just smile and say ' Hi! '. And perhaps, when you're walking, try to start a conversation. For example, ask him how does he like the art class. When he replies - bingo, you started a conversation, now just keep it - just like you would with your friends. And, about that girlfriend,you say they never talk? And no-one ever talks about them? Bingo! They porbably aren't a couple but even if they are, and they don't talk - they're probably breaking up...And his phone number - I got my friend who walks with him home after school, cause they live close to each other and i have to go by bus, to ask him. Then she send me the number - though I still don't dare to call or text. Find out what he likes and what he's good at. And, yes, what are you bad at. Once you know that, for example, you're bad at maths and he's good at them, you can always walk up to him and ask him for assistance!
