How do I get him?

Amara
I'm very confident and independent, I know I don't need a man for fulfillment but a new guy had caught my eye. I posted about it a few days ago but only got one response discouraging me from talking to him. It's still up if you wanna read it. This guy in the past has called me "hot". One of my closer friends is friends with him. So he mentioned a week or two ago that his friend still thought I was attractive. So I did a little stalking and he's quite cute. I'm very hopeful, so I made an 11:11 wish to hang with him in the 4th. It worked. He ended up with my group of friends. So anyway, I told my friend "aye, not bad" basically and he said he's still single and not officially talking to anyone in a serious way right now. So we find each other attractive but I don't know how to talk to him. He snapped me in the past for a few days but then we just stopped (he was going to a military school). What do I do? I have his snap. I can get his number, I don't know how to go about this. I don't want to seem boring, you can ready my previous post for more detail, it will help.
