How can I get to know a guy better

i got my mate to ask out a guy for me and he says:
i dont really know her well enough to go out with her, and theres no point cause we are going soon
he has known ma friend for ages and wouldnt lie to her. my mum says she can give me lifts up to where he live, so that solves the distance problem. but I really really really like him and I wanna get to know him better...
but he knows I like him...

how do I get to know him over a computer

p.s I do actually know this guy in real life but he lives a bitty away from me and I only have his facebook addy if he accepts... :( HELP PLEASE

If you can get an ongoing connection and chat him up via the Internet, you can learn a lot about him. Ask him what he thinks about this and that. It's also a good way to evaluate how he feels about you. If he's willing to keep the chatter going with you, that's a good sign. I would be careful not to overdo it at the start. When you send him a message, wait until he answers to send another. Otherwise he may think you're coming on too strong and it could scare him off.

Just go with the flow and see what happens.

rob is right. start talking to him on facebook and you'll definitely get a vibe if he likes you as a friend or more. plus ull get to no him better.

it sounds like u relle like this guy and I hope it works out. :]
