Ok, so maybe not desperately but anyway 
I've never done this before and it took me probably 30 min. to even find where to do this at....haha. I am such a ditz sometimes!!
So there is this guy. and i like him. a lot.
I don't really know him very well. we've talked like, twice.
My really good girlfriend is always trying to get me to go and talk to him.
Which doesn't bother me. But she is REALLY close to going up to him, and saying " can you go talk to her" her being me. I'm conflicting. In some ways, i just want her to do it. So i can talk to him. But in another way, i feel like waiting on God to initiate that conversation would be better!? right? 
I never really liked a guy before. well like i like him at least. and at this point, all i really want with him is a friendship, not saying i don't think he's cute or anything. Do you guys think i should wait on God's timing, and let him initiate a conversation. Or have my friend set it up........................ ?

oh. i forgot. I think he might like me. maybe. The way he acts around me isn't normal. But then again, I'm not really sure what is normal for him....

| Definitely wait on the Lord, just tell your friend politely that you'd prefer her to not interfer. If thats how you feel of course....Don't forget, the Lord is never off in His judgement; if he wants you two to get to know each other then he'll arrange it a lot better than any person could . |

| I agree wholeheartedly with wind_dancer to wait on the Lord. He does have a plan for your life. If all you really want is a friendship with him, go for it. Friendships with guys are wonderful things, IMO at least. you really get to know each other better and there are situations where friends date each other in the future. But of course it's whatever God has in His wonderful plan for you. |

| I wouldn't not initiate conversations with him. What I wouldn't initiate is a conversation asking him out (something along those lines, at least). And if your friend is making it hard for you, I second the comments to ask her not to interfere. |

| I think that not thinking about just talking to a member of the opposite sex as a person causes a lot of problems for both guys and girls. (I just found that to be rather funny.) |

I wouldn't let your freind talk to him for you. I would hate that, because if someones friend came up to me and wanted me to talk to whoever, it makes it harder for me to look genuineley interested in the person they are trying to get me to talk to.
So, if/when he decides to talk to you, just give him a smile (a smile does more than you know! It is such a relief for a guy!) and see what he has to say. |

| It's pretty easy. What do you guys have in common? What are his favorite subjects or foods? What does he spend his free time on? Have either of you ever broken a bone (he might tell a story about how he broke his)? I'd give you more ideas, but I have to get ready for church. |

i_trust, I think you've hit jackpot on good comments
I'd just like to ALSO say that waiting on the Lord is the best thing you could do in this situation, and that your desire to just be friends with this guy is so refreshing! WAY too many people I know want to date someone that they don't even know as a friend and I'm like, "WHAT??"
Just remember this: if it starts fast and is really emotional, it will probably end that way. If you base it on friendship, you could possibly walk away from it the same way In my experience, anyway (not the fast and emotional one... the other one lol) |

I know Emily! I <3 you too
I know! I'm glad people responded! yay! I guess what I've sorta decided is just waiting on God to give me an opportunity to talk to him. Because I know God's timing will be perfect And way less awkward than anything I could even attempt. |

| Ha. Umm. I don't know how to say it!! I guess just waiting for God to put me (or him) in a situation where talking wouldn' t be awkward or anything..........does that even make sense?! |
