HLF, just approach him and be yourself. You don't have to play any games. If he likes what he sees there ya' go. If he doesn't then it's not meant to be. Having layers is cool and all but you're not really being true to yourself if you are choosing what to show someone and what not. That's just presenting a false image and later could become a problem. The same goes to you sean, just be who you are. Don't worry about getting to people to like you. Either they will or they won't. Just be who you are. It doesn't matter if you're a nerd or funny or handsome or whatever, just be you. The best friends or lovers you'll ever have are the ones that know who you are and not some person you've created.
