Hi Annya,

I always feel honesty is the best policy, and I am sure he would understand if you told him, you really wanted to, but you were caught off guard, nervous that day, distracted by your friend and that you would really enjoy getting a cup of coffee with him and going somewhere to talk. If the place you most often see him is in class, or before class, I would ask him then, or give him your phone number and ask him to call you as you would still be interested in meeting, and you are sorry about what happened the first time. If he is an understanding man, I am sure he will appreciate your honesty. The reason he is darting out of class, is because he might be feeling awkward after being rejected.
