help!!!

Okay in comparison to some other topics on here this one seems a little insignificant but it's all I've been thinking about for a while  now and I think I need help from some girls who may have been in the same situation once. I've liked this boy since the start of this year and he is absolutely FUCKING BEAUTIFUL he is angelic like ladies I swear to you !!! Anyway 😂 I've been crushing on him but the only real help I've had is from my two best friends and neither of them have had a boyfriend before and don't really give all that helpful advice. This week was basically the first time we've talked face to face and it was just a simple "how did you go in your exam?" Type of thing. I texted him two  nights later but he didn't really respond he asked me how my day was and I asked him and that was it basically. I'm not desperate but I really like him, and I have no freaking idea how to start a conversation with him. He's the shy type but confident around his friends you can hardly get him alone so I figure texting is the way to go. Basically what I'm asking is WHAT SHOULD I DO!?!?  Should I text him and if so what the hell do I say and how do I keep the conversation going?! Ladies I'm at a complete stump!
