I met this guy at my friend Bryan's graduation party. I didn't really talk to the guy (Derek)then, I just thought he was hot. I asked Bryan about him and he said he was a pretty cool guy. So I was like great. And I told Bryan I thought Derek was hot. So he is trying to get us to hang out to get to know each other. So I saw Derek again on the 4th of july for fireworks cuz bryan invited a bunch of people over. But I didn't get to talk to derek then either. So then Bryan had people to his house yesterday and I was there and so was Derek. We talked a little, but later he IMed me and we are in the process of getting to know eachother. I am not sure what to do though. I am going to just be a senior in high school, and Derek is going off to collegenext year. Its not like we're TOGETHER or anything, but I'd sorta like to be. We're still getting to know eachother now, but how can I maybe speed up the process??? Please help.

You can speed the process slightly by doing things together and talking more and finding out about each other, but keep in mind he is going away and there will be more people for him to meet. So try to keep your feelings at bay until you are sure that something can become of your like for him.

If you can cook make him lunch, check out a movie together do things and try to get to know him.

GOOD LUCK
