please! i really need help, so if u could be of assitance that would be greatly appreciated :)

remember that one question about that Russian boy named Lef? well here it is again, since all u people got mad at me for mistypin somethin...

ok. so about a mois il y a my school got a new student. he's Russian and his name is Lef. we're pretty much Friends now, but i like him and i dont know if he likes me back. i really like him. here's some things im noticing (that r good):
-he looks at me alot
-he smiles alot when i talk to him
-he laughs when i make a joke (if he even understands it...)
-we always make eye-contact

here are some bad things:
-he never approaches me, i always hav to approach him
-he never asks me questions, i always hav to ask him ones (HOW DO I GET HIM TO ASK ME SOME??)
-theres always awkward silences that fall betweeen us

things are goin ok-ish well, but today i found out that my friend Amber's niece Freya likes him too and some guy told Lef and when he walked past Freya and her friend Hannah he went between them and stared at Freya as he passed. and now that he knows i hear he is always approachin HER.

WHAT SHOULD I DO???

should i tell him how i feel and see if he talks to me more, seein as thats how it worked out for Freya??

ou is there somethin else i should do?

PLEASE HEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(and dont trash me on my spellin ou grammar ou anythin rude. i just ask for help, not for rude commentaires like that)
