Typical crush: boy sits next to me in class

I’m 16 almost 17 and have NEVER had a boyfriend. I guess before I didn’t care even if my friends had a bf. Now I’m thinking I’m wasting my life and I have zero experience. I feel like I’m too intimidating. ANYWAYS the guy I kinda like sits next to me in a class and we’ve talked before like casual classmates and he’s super outgoing. So I don’t know if he likes me bc he’s outgoing to everyone. I don’t wanna scare him away bc I mistook his friendliness for something else. I pray every night to god that I find someone. Sheesh I sound desperate but it’s true rn I rlly do want someone who I can hold hands with. ALSO !! He’s white and I’m black so there’s the whole racial pressure going on.

Any advice is cool. Thanks for reading if u did.
