Just ask them in a casual and natural way if they like you, and don't be offended if they turn you down; if you don't make a big deal out of it, then they probably won't either, you know? It's not like they're going to yell "Ha! Foolish mortal! You would dare to flirt with
me?! You will pay for your insolence! Die!" and then rip your head off.
Just imagine the situation if the roles were reversed; if someone thought that
you liked
them, wouldn't you prefer that they just talked to you about it rather than be awkward around you all of the time? And if they did talk to you, and you just weren't very attracted to them, so you decided to turn them down, wouldn't you probably be nice about it rather than laugh in their face? Just go with your gut, and like DwnWthVwls said, "don't be creepy".
