cuteness

So I definitely am really liking this boy I know. And I just don't "really like" anyone. I am one of the pickiest girls you would probably know... but I just try to explain to people that for me, there needs to be a certain chemistry there in order to pursue some sort of relationship. It doesn't necessarily have to be that he's the most gorgeous guy in the world, but it's just that spark that attracts me to someone. Now, I haven't felt that quite some time now... not up until about 3 weeks ago.
This is going to sound like corniest, cheesiest thing ever, but when our eyes first locked... there was something there. We had serious eye contact going for a few days, until finally he said something. Turns out, we had actually met once before a couple years back during my junior year of high school. He remembered everything, but I had no idea. His cousin actually went to my old high school and he himself used to best friends with my ex-boyfriend. And that's what got us to talking. He's always been nice and interested in our conversations, and always at least takes the time to acknowledge me someway, somehow as he passes by with the little time we have.
And that is the problem - time. I saw him everyday for a week straight, but now I only see him a couple times a week for very brief periods of time. And it's so hard because there's always always always people around us, so it's never really the right atmosphere to exchange numbers or talk about hanging out on the weekend. And therein lies my frustration. I've gotten hints from him that he's interested, but we just never have any alone time to act on it (no, I didn't mean it in that way, kids). And quite simply, I absolutely do not have the courage to ask for his number. So what do I do? Drop hints that I'm interested? I'm not sure that he knows I am or not. On my last day of seeing him daily, he said, "Don't worry, I'll know where to find you." He does know one of my old good friends from HS... he could possibly contact me through her if he were really interested. I don't know, I'm just confused on what to do and how to at least advance things to talking on the phone and hanging out occasionally.
If anyone has any advice or motivation for me, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance and sorry for the longness!
