It can be so dawnting initiating in conversation for the first time. How about keep it simple. Ask him how he and and what he is into etc.

They are different types of "like" Some are just admiration like you like that person because of his ability or maybe because of his personality then just tell him but if it is love, try to know that person very well and you might confess but you need to consider different circumstances. Just be yourself, if you think this is going to be the best thing to do then go but if there is hesitation try to not think about it. Divert yourself to other things.
Notice the things about him you like, and see if he likes something you like, maybe a game or a TV show or a band? If you feel you can, approach him and just say hi, maybe add "Hey I noticed you like (insert thing you both like here), what do you think about (insert thought about what you both like here)." If what he likes is not easy enough to notice, don't put too much effort into finding out for yourself--find a good conversation starter and say hi anyway! If it doesn't work out, that's okay.
Well... What do they enjoy? If they like something you like, try to strike up a conversation about it! If you know nothing about the things they like, but something they enjoy sounds interesting to you, express interest in it, maybe have them explain it and talk about it.
Try walking up and introducing your self. Ask about his interest. See if you have anything in common..
You get to know the guy by like asking him queastions about the things he likes and what he likes to do and get to know him so that you know how he acts towards sertain situations
Just introduce yourself & let him get to know you. Find out if you have anything in common.
You'll soon find out if he feels the same.
Good luck.

Try to avoid being too pushy. Start with greeting him when you see him. Then you could stop and have a little talk with him like you're acquainted, and later you'll find out if you share interests.
Try to start a conversation basically a getting to know him conversation. Try to have interest in what he has in so he might end up talking to you.
Start by saying 'Hi!' Be happy, be yourself! Try a couple none offensive jokes and make him laugh, and ask a few questions and just get to know him before you start flirting!
Try becoming friends with him. Crack a few jokes if he likes something learn a little about it and being it up with him.

Smile with him and walk towards him and ask how he is,don't be nervous and act cool,try to communicate as much as you can.
Ask him about any music or TV shows he likes to watch :) (ps. most guys I know like shows like Walking Dead or Suits, but it can be anything you like to watch! It's a good starting point to see what you have in common :) ) also talk about your plans for the weekend or for summer and don't forget to ask him questions about himself too! Self-disclosure is key to starting a close and intimate relationship. :)

don't think about it so much :) just say a hello ! guys are not like girls ! just talk with him simply !
Introduce yourself tell him a little about you. And ask what his name is. Ask what he likes to do what are his interest.
This is my Favorite. I know how hard it can be talking to a guy, ( heart beats faster, sweaty hands, possibly red face ) best way to talk to a guy, is Confidence. Guys love confidence but be relaxed and casual on the topics you come up with to him.

Never be afraid to say hi and treat him like one of your girlfriends, minus the overly-long chatter and tone down the gossips part.
Find out what you like about him then engage with him on that topic or level. Always be yourself and let go of expectation. Whatever the outcome it is not a measure of your self worth.

I think the best approach would be to find something you are mutually interested in and start a conversation based on some common interests. Often times, something as simple as that, will open the door to a deeper conversation and allow you to really get to know each other.
Say "Hi!" :)
Go ask a question. There are a lot of possible topics. You could try for instance anything you are interested in by yourself. This way there is probability that you'll find out to have a match of interests. Another way is to ask anything you think the guy may be interested in.

Just introduce yourself in a nice way, ask him how is he doing and maybe you can find something in common with him to develop the theme :)
Have confidence and be mindful. Always say something rather than nothing. You can simply say "Hey, I like your (fill in) I'm (fill in your name) you seem like a great guy and I'd love to meet you, can I have your number?
The guy should talk to you but honestly, it's very easy to fish a guy. All you gotta do is play your eyes to him. If he like you, he'll get the hint. If not, move on to the next one.
Try to spark up a conversation with something simple. See if it leads you to a more interesting conversation
Snapchat him. ;D. I do this and he answers me in a snap(chat). I think he likes me too though, which makes it easier.
Smile at him when he walks by and maybe say hi. I`m sure you will get to talking and learn more about each other.
Just give your best shot and do it your way, the original you, which will make it easier and also gives you extra boost of confidence.
Just go up to him and talk. Ask him on something that he is wearing/what he likes or anything like that. Something general to start up the conversation. Always remember being a friend first is important but know when to change the friendship into something more.
To start, you should get to know his likes and interests so that you two have something to talk about and the conversations that you have with him are not one sided. It would be best recommended to start off as friends and then see how thigs go, best friends make the best couples. If you want to, you can also invite him places and get to know him like that.
