I'm دوستوں with this boy.

Well the obious one would be just ask him, but if آپ dont want to do that then if آپ have a friend who is also friend with him that is willing to ask him and then tell آپ that ususally works too! There are a few مزید things and if آپ dont want to do that then I will think of more. Let me know :)

Hope I helped :-)

if your in class's with him don't be shy to ask

آپ should just come out and say what آپ feel. If he was your friend for 2 years then he should be ok with آپ saying how آپ feel about things. Also things sometimes work out better than آپ expect when آپ just share your feelings!

Okay, asking him straight out is quite difficult. Its easily کہا than done. So if your really good دوستوں ask him who he likes, and see if he says another girl, if he keeps on refusing let it go.
Um maybe ask another of your دوستوں (only use this if they are good دوستوں with them too) to try to find out

Alright, so آپ like this Derek dude right? So, I guess your way of finding out is kinda based on both our your personalilites. um...For example, lets use me. (I'm a dude) When girls that are just دوستوں (JUST FRIENDS!!!) ask me if I like them یا something, I feel kinda embarrased یا intimadated because I have no special feelings for them and I don't wanna hurt their feelings. But if I really like a girl then I'd start spending مزید time with her, and she'd figure out. (SUCESS!) But yeah, either ask him straight out یا look for signs. And, if it works out (I have high hopes it will), I wish آپ well in your relationship!
