It is not okay to Facebook him. Just approach him and say hello.

mandywebster97: what would I say in a "relaxed" message?

chuff: why shouldn't I do it over Facebook?

Facebook is a little impersonal... and might seem... dare I say it? Stalkerish. It's better to start a relationship in the real world rather than online as even if you have a great time talking on FB, approaching each other in the real world might be really scary.

Sounds like he likes you, maybe you could formulate an introduction. Mutual friends etc? Right place at the right time. Might as well take the risk, you might be pleasantly surprised!

OK yeah that's what I was afraid of... seeming "stalkerish"

I would just walk up to him and talk to him. Make a joke. But be calm, not to overbaring and forward.

Very simple way, Next time he sees u and smiles , just ask him why is he doing this?

Honestly, it would all depend on if you're a male or a female..
But either way, be confident. That is the key. But like arnimal said, casual joke would be appropriate. Don't mention Facebook!!
Also, if someone approached me with "you look familiar," it would seem that she is someone that might be one that tries to know everyone.
If I were you, go watch his games. Compliment him on his game as a conversation starter. Guys like their ego stroked. I know I love it =] try to stir up conversation with that and when that is accomplished, cut it short. That way you got a conversation to "finish up" next time.

Because you're a big girl, and you don't have to hide behind Facebook. If you somehow found him on Facebook but couldn't speak to him in person what do you think he would think about you?

All right here's what you do. The next time you are with friends and you see him look at you try and wave him over before he looks away. Because you are with friends it won't be as awkward.

Oooooooor if you have any classes together approach him and ask him about homework in a class. Ask him if he understands it if you don't. In school homework is always a great middle ground, it's like the highschooler "What do you think of the weather" question, although this one won't get you a blank stare or the black "Nice" reaction.

Neither of you has gotten the nerve to talk to each other yet?? Or is this a different guy?
