How do I get this off grid emo guy to know that I like him?

Okay, so first off, we're both in college. He's a senior (graduating May 2026), and I'm a sophomore. We've had classes together, and we've had a few conversations about random things. But that was when I was a freshman during both our fall and spring semesters. The class was Italian, and now he's not in Italian anymore because he did a Maymester this past summer and tested out of it.(We have to take three semesters of Italian at my school.) During the classes we did have, sometimes we'd sit by each other, and usually he'd compliment me on my outfits or, like, stare at certain clothing pieces that I'd have on. He dresses up like a typical nonchalant grunge/emo guy; he skates and smokes weed and cigarettes and is into raves and electronic music. We follow one another on Instagram, and we'd text each other regarding Italian fashion or music. But it was mainly me asking about fashion or music because he was in a class that I was interested in. I texted him this past week, but he took forever to respond, as he claimed last fall semester that he doesn't use social media. I'm not sure if he knows I'm into him, and I've tried to flirt or hint that I like him. He's a really easygoing and outward person. Not shy at all, just inaccessible. So I'm wondering if this is too far-fetched or if I should just throw myself at him so he can get the hint. It's just hard to talk to him because we have completely different majors, and I wasn't accepted into the club that he is in. And he's not really around campus or on social media that much. Also, he's white and I'm Black, and I have no idea if he'd be into me. I follow a somewhat grunge/emo style some days but not all the time. Sorry if this is childish; I'm just really into him.
