Tasmin, im older than you but not by much. Im 18 and let me pass on some of my words of wisdom.

If you like this guy, you need to talk to him. Dont go running to him with how you feel cause chances are that you will get shot down straight away but maybe if he is in your math class you should try simply sitting in the row infront or behind him. Depending on if you get a chance, ask him if he can maybe help you with some problems and just strike up small talk over the math. Get to know him a little before you act on any feelings.

In saying that though, relationships are hard work and its likely that you will have a lot of heartbreak throughout your life. Its not nice. Ive only had one girlfriend (2.5 years) and I tell you what, nearly a year onwards it still hurts not being with her. Before you say to yourself, "Hey, I really want to go out with this guy" ask yourself what you know about him, if you think your ready for a relationship, even ask yourself why do you think you need a boyfriend. Most importantly ask yourself what do you think a relationship is.

Its better to wait for some one in my opinion for someone who you have been given a chance to get to know for a fair while. That for me is a big thing in relationships. All my school friends were trying to chase after the hottest boy or girl in school but remember, a relationship is two people being together for hopefully a long time. its an important decision that needs to be thought out and given time and effort.
