How is he going to interpret this?

I gets I'm not hip to what MySpace or Facebook adding means. I thought people just added whoever on those sites, but apparently it's some special honor. I don't know about that.

In my opinion, if someone added me to their cell phone, I would not specifically think it meant anything significant, unless they or I made the encounter significant.

So I'd say talk to him, and invite him to go with you to an event or dinner, or whatever. See what happens, see if he will make a move, or he will confront what feelings he may have.

Or you could be brazen, and corner him on the street and throw him into your car and tell him he won't be released until he agrees to date you.

Seriously, just have an open conversation with him where the two of you can put everything out there, and can reach an agreement. And do it face to face.
