Is this a good idea???????????????

Would it be a good idea to ask my guy friend or one of my other friends to ask the guy I like what he thinks of me... as in if he would ever think about going out with me? I'm scared of getting rejected but I'm seriously thinking about hearing his thoughts on if he might be interested.... what do you think?? He is really shy and we have never talked to each other.... we usually just look at each other and then look down cuz we get embarred that we caught each other lol... woul dit be best to ask my guy friend to ask him though? Would that make him more at ease about it? Does it matter?? What do you think? I know I over yze everything but plz help lol
