Should I start taking to a guy on snap?

There’s this guy who’s in my grade, we have a few of the same classes, and we’ve lived down the street from each other our whole lives. But we’ve never really talked or been friends or anything. I added him on snap about a month ago, and even though we’ve never talked I was hoping *maybe* he would start up a conversation over snap. Didn’t happen. So, should I try to start talking to him over Snapchat or should I just leave it alone? He’s pretty cute and super nice, but I’m kind of thinking that if he wanted to talk to me, he would have already done so. Or, do you think that he’s thinking the exact same thing? Help!
