How does he communicate? If he reads lips, it shouldn't be much of a problem, you just have to remember to make sure he can see your lips when you're talking.
If he uses American Sign Language, one way you could get to know him is to ask him to teach you... you can pick up the alphabet in sign on the Internet and use that to spell basic words until he teaches you the sign for the word. If you really get along, you could sign up for an ASL class.
Another option - you could carry around a notebook and write notes back and forth until you are fluent in whatever way he communicates.
Just be open and willing to learn.

Pen and Paper always work! Along with going up to him and talking to him. He may be able to read lips and just hand him a note that you would like to get to know him better. There are lots of books out that you can learn signs. Gesture to him, Hi and if you learn the manual alphabet then you can spell your name to him. Believe me he will be more than happy to help you communicate with him. So don't be afraid to approach him and talk. Just because he is Deaf doesn't mean he can't hear everything. He may have some residual hearing. Here is a website for you that you can go too and it will help you with words. www.aslpro.com

So what, if you like him, learn how to communicate!
It is not easy, it is very frustrating, I know, I am married to a 50% deaf person.
Luckily hearing aids help but he doesn't wear them all the time.
Couldn't you learn sign language for him?
Doesn't he lip read?
if you really like him you will find away.

Easy, learn sign language! The more you practice the easier it will be. Once he knows you like him, use a note pad til you learn it all. Carry a sign language book with you. If you really want it, I'm sure you can work it out!

Take sign language classes or get some CD's that teach you, you can even get ahold of your local Adult Education school or a local College and sign up no matter what school age you are, there might be a little cost but it will be worth it and not only that, it can get you far as well

Learning how to sign would be romantic in the long run, but not an immediate solution. Writing things down would probably be better for now - and quite fun.

you ought to do what feels good on your heart. I even have made alot of judgements out of guilt. the two I didnt want to harm somebody so I stayed while i in my view jus needed to circulate away them or only have been given caught up in a large number. Dont circulate off of what you experience while your ex says he's not mad jus take it for what he tells you an be happy on your relationship. this is much less annoying mentioned then executed yet that kinda stuff gets much less annoying. terrific desires to all of you.

Nothing to be confused about. If you like him, then show him. Buy a sign language book and ask him to help you learn his language. 10 bucks says he does.
