Distracted by shiny things

So the whole business with commuting would be absolutely fine if I was capable of doing any work at home, unfortunately that is not the case.  I am not even sure why I am updating, I think I ran out of all other available means of procrastination and can't bring myself to go back to reading 'A Social Theory of International Relations', for the incomprehensibility of which my lecturer actually apologised today.

I guess the real reason is that I need advice. It has been ages since I have really liked someone and even longer since I've pursued anyone, so I don't know what to do! The person that I like is someone I have become friends with over the last couple of weeks, so normal ways of asking someone out are not clear enough, like we have had coffee, lunch and drinks on numerous occasions (coffee and lunch just the two of us, he paid for coffee 1, I paid for coffee 2,) I don't know if he likes me like that, and I am pretty sure he has no idea how I feel, because my extreme fear of rejection means that I act in a completely nonchalant way, but he definitely likes me enough to spend many hours talking to me and leaving his house to have lunch with me. He also dresses like Ryan Atwood: grey hoodie and a leather jacket. (Sorry, if you don't watch the OC!) Yeah that's not relevant, but it is sort of awesome.

So I need to do something fairly soon, because it led me to spend about half an hour in the library today staring into space, and it will be harder once we become too good friends, you know? The question is what do I do? Someone on my course is having a party on Saturday and I am thinking the solution maybe to get drunk and try to kiss him, but I do see many a problems with this plan.

Help?
