if there is a guy you like but you just haven't got the guts to speak to him. you can start by trying to talk to some of his friends so it is a way in to speaking to him. You could then give it a go by flirting with him and then he might see that you have a slight interest.

You may want to start by becoming friends with him and learning if you have anything in common, or if he likes you!
Normally, I take a deep breath, and find out first what they're interested in. Always start with "hello" and just be yourself. Something will eventually happen. It's okay to be nervous!

You can go up to him, start with a sinple hello. Be kind and compassionate. Be sweet and funny. And you should be confident about yourself when you talk to him.
As far as I know, the best way is humor. Depending on the known personality traits, of course. Most people enjoy a good laugh, though, and if you're the one making the first efforts, it'll only be a matter of time before reciprocation. Then it's all about friendship. But remember to be real; you want him to like you for you, not for a fake persona you've cast.
You start talking to the guy you like. It's that simple. Don't think about whether if he likes you or not, just be yourself and start talking. :)
The best place to introduce yourself is a neutral setting like your workplace. The environment wouldn't stress you out as much. You may start with an introduction and small talk. Find some common ground. It's always good to establish a small friendly bond before letting it take a more serious route.

Be kind, and welcoming. Try to not rush things or make it obvious that you have feelings for him. Just be kind to him and be yourself. If the feelings are mutual, things will go great for you both.

Be confident, go up to him and say hi or ask for his number. Treat him as a friend and see how it goes
Start by saying Hi and start talking about your and his interests, likes and dislikes. Remember that he is also a human and not some alien :p So keep you calm and talk :D
People always complicate things like is there some secret steps or magical tricks to talking to a person. NO THERE ISN'T. You go up to that person and you say hi, introduce your name. You can start with some funny intro or do a pick up line. "Is your dad a preacher, cause boy you are a blessing." So what if he thinks you are weird? You will probably the only girl that done a legit pick up line to him and he will remember you for that. It's not hard, just talk, listen and enjoy the conversation.
Depends, how do you feel about talk to him about it? Do you get nervous? Does he already have a girlfriend?

First, don't be afraid! If you like him, you need to get more comfortable around him. Them, try to start an easy conversation.
Try to find an excuse to talk to him. Whether it be help in class/work, a simple question etc. And then, once you ask/get an answer, introduce yourself and just start talking :) (So long as it's not in the middle of something important).

Just be yourself :) make small conversation and see where it goes! If the guy seems like he doesn't care much to talk to you, maybe he isn't worth your time
find something you are both interested or passionate about and then talk about it , or search for things you could have in common
Honestly. I would do it in person. So many people talk online or over text message and it's just not the same. If you like him get to know him in person and then talk over text or online.
be kind, and slowly start talking to him more and more. but also have patience, dont expect to be best friends (or more) with him right away.
If you want to get the guy to notice you then just be yourself and get to know him then get his # or just something to talk to him after school
Approach him by all means, and start talking! You'll probably be super nervous, but as long as he doesn't notice, you're all good. It's unlikely that he would despise you (unless you appear really mean of course) on the first encounter, so don't worry too much about it. Take deep breaths and go up to strike a casual conversation with him. Don't tell him how much you like him in the first conversation -- he'll think it's creepy! If you don't want to make it too awkward, you can try to talk to him in group activities, sit down with him at lunch or even chat for 2 minutes after class. You've got nothing to lose after all. Good luck!

Because he still feels something for you even tho you don't know it he might just feel something for you
I find that we spend too much time in on our head and hoping that there is something we can do or say that will control the outcome of a situation. Unfortunately the only thing you can control is yourself, and there are millions of variables that you are unaware of that can affect his behavior. So, just quit thinking about, it's useless, and say hi :) What happens from there is out of your control, and unfortunately, no amount of worrying, going through hypothetical scenarios will help.

It's usually best to just introduce yourself. Showing your acctual self and acting nice towards the person usually does the trick.

Just go up to him and start a conversation. Remember to ALWAYS be yourself because you want him to like you for who you are.

Start up a regular conversation. And see where it goes, starting the conversation with a simple hello how was your day ? Ask simple questions, keep the conversation simple and interesting
It is much easier said than done. But at first try to get his attention with a little smile, and if you see that he reacts and seems interested, than you can try to have a conversation with him. Just be creative and be yourself, that's what matters.
Talk to him. It's really that simple :) At first you will feel like it's the most difficult thing in the world to do but (some) people are actually really nice when you just go to then and say "Hi". Start simple and try to get to know them but count to three, realise there is nothing to lose in the situation, and just say "Hey" :)
You can go up to him and maybe flirt with him, but don't over do it. Possibly ask him for his number.(:
You can reach him on internet if you are too afraid to talk to him. But if you are not, you can reach him personally, find some commons stuff and base a conversation on them.
