Girl and Guy help needed with guy issues...?

Question

I could use help from both sides here...
There is this guy at my school that I REALLY like, but there's just something about him that stops me from talking to him. I want to talk to him, but the only time I managed to was when I asked him to our Homecoming. He seems like a really nice guy, but it also looks like we have pretty much nothing in common. My friends all back me up saying that they'll come with me to talk to him, but he's a senior and I'm, well, not. Should I try talking to him, and if I should, what should I say?
Also, we're from completely different 'cliques', if that's what you want to call it. Him: All black, eyebrow peircing. Me: Jeans, nose-peircing, t-shirts. Kind of stereotyped, but that's pretty much all you need to know to get the differences...help?

Lynnca pointed out that I indeed didn't say what his answer was, and I think his answer was what was most confusing of all.
I asked him if he was going to homecoming. He said yes. I asked him if he was going *with* anyone. He said just his friends...at which point I just said 'oh, okay.' smiled, and walked off because I thought my legs were going to go out on me then and there. So he said he was going, but just with his friends...so I really don't know what that means...

Answer 1

You never said what his answer was to going to Homecoming. That answer will tell you all you need to know. If he likes you, he would have said yes. If he doesn't, then he would have said no. If he did say no, you could try again, maybe he said no because he doesn't know you or maybe he already had another date. Try asking to go for a coffee. Then you guys can sit and talk to figure out if there is anything in common.
Good luck!
