Make sure he doesn't have a girlfriend and that he's worth it. Also, beware that if he just went through a break up, he might just be on rebound. The feelings wouldn't be what you are seeking. Don't ask him out if he already has a girlfriend, especially if she is your friend.
If you find a guy/girl who you share a lot in common with, don't wait for them to ask you to hang out. If you are scared to ask him, in case he doesn't like you, all you have to do is try an make him like you. If you're a "shop 'til you drop" person, invite them to the mall with you. If you love books, invite them to the library or a poetry night with you. Do something he might share in common with you. He might also be shy, so he might not be the one to approach, either because he thinks you're out of his league or because he thinks you might reject him.
Don't rush or crowd your new friend. Hang out and talk every once in a while to begin with, then start hanging out more often. Give each other space. Usually, if you hit it off really well and have a lot of fun together, the friendship will tend to automatically grow into more frequent visits. Just try not to be that girl who looks too desperate.
When he is looking at you, just smile and he will do it right back. Humans respond to smiles intensely and immediately, and when heading towards a man of your choice, he'll get a powerful non-verbal message that you're nice and approachable. Consider this your "First Move." Even if you've never spoken before, he'll be compelled to notice and eventually say hello to you if you keep eye contact and smile.
This is especially important if he's the kind of guy who's used to having girls approach him. It's imperative that you be different because you'll stand out more. Do nothing at first but lock eyes, smile, and turn your attention elsewhere or keep walking. Be disciplined and wise enough to know that if you give in to your physical attraction and pursue him before he's had to invest any amount of time (not just the time between the beginning and end of the party) getting to know you, then you lose.
He won't know that you're great unless you've aroused his desire to know. It's ineffective to blab on about every detail about yourself because you'll leave him with nothing to be curious about!
