Ты can also have a friend go over and say, "(insert guys name) do u like "insert your name)" and if it's yes then your friend can go ok,will Ты go out with her then, which if he likes Ты will probably be yes.
Well my Вопрос is: Are Ты Друзья with him? If Ты are it will make it alot easier to get to know him before Ты try to ask him out. But if I was in your situation I would try to be Друзья and flirt for a couple weeks. If he flirts back then Ты know Ты have a chance. Then either text, e-mail, или write him to find out if he wants to date. If Ты are really gutsy, then Ты should definitely ask him out face to face, that is always better. But be patient so Ты don't get your сердце broken. See if he is intrested in Ты as much as Ты are in him. Good Luck, I hope I helped!
