start talking to him more, maybe add in a flirty edge to gage his level of interest. compliment him, or lightly tease him about something
the way relationships work is by gradually increasing the intimacy if its reciprocated, so first start by becoming friends
The same way you seem to hope he would? Very simple
Thank you!
I’ve been getting to know him a little more first and hoping that we would become friends!
say something like “hey lmk if you’d wanna hang sometime”
