I like a guy who I hang out in a group with, should I text him?

My question was a) if he hasn't ever texted me does that mean he is not or never will be interested?

b) should I text him to say hi and get a bit of a conversation going? I'm scared of looking too keen or too random!

Thanks

Send him a picture of your tits, works every time.

It could be that neither of the things in a) are true. Unless there's something seriously offputting about you I can't see why he would never be interested in you, and maybe he doesn't know what to say or do.

Maybe use something that happened when your group meets up as a conversation starter, or say 'Hi, we haven't talked that much whatsapp?'

a) Well since you say he is shy it does not mean he is not interested because he is not hitting up your phone. Of course it would be a lot easier to tell if he liked you if he did actually text/call you. It sounds like you are quite early into the friendship so you need to have some sort of text ice breaking and get to the point where texting becomes a part of your friendship. I don't think with any of my friends male or female I started texting regularly early on.

b) Starting a text conversation out of the blue is always a tricky one especially if you've never spoken by text before. If this is too difficult I would recommend that when you next see him mention something like a funny video, a useful website etc. and tell him you will text him a link to it. Do this later when you have left (not there and then) and pair with some sort of question to get the texting going.
