Search Results: spark a conversation

I've had a crush on this guy, age 15, who we will call Canada, for a year now but we don't talk a lot. At school we had this thing where he would buy me a juice box and Doritos everyday during lunch and I'd pay him back the next day for the whole year. I (awkwardly) asked him for his number one day after school; which he gave to me. One day I tried talking to him after school but he had to catch the bus so it was another extremely awkward attempt at a conversation with him. Finally I asked him when his birthday was so I could Give him a present and then that sparked our first normal conversation. The school was selling carnations around that time too so I order one for him but he was absent the day they were passed out so he never got it.. I had also forgotten to but a note with the carnation so I stuck it on his locker a few days later saying "Happy Valintines Day! Sorry I forgot to put this with the carnation. Have a good day!" When I saw him reading it he had this utterly confused look on his face. Then I realized he never got the carnation. So on the last day of school I drew one for him and stuck it on his locker. We also talked that day. He was the last person I talked to at school that year. We've talked a bit since school ended and we aren't awkward around each other anymore. I just got back from Italy so I got him some gifts. I sent them to him and he texted me saying thanks and stuff but I haven't talked to him since. (It's only been 2 days though) He usually doesn't answer my texts unless I'm asking him something decently important or just down right idiotic but then we have pretty good conversation after. My friend, let's call Albainia, thinks I should ask him on a date but I don't know. (They are soccer friends) but I really don't know how or what to ask him to do (he likes soccer going to lakes and eating and lovesss chocolate). I also want to ask him to homecoming but that's aways away.
I just really don't know what to do with the whole Canada thing.
