Just wanted to hear everyones opinion.

Shy or not he needs to grow a pair and ask you out, if he likes you that much. Shyness doesn't justify being a coward. Don't listen to your friend, don't waste your time.

I’ve known extremely shy men who still pursued their partners. If he’s really interested, he’ll summon the courage to go for it.

The most I'd do is when he mentions going to some place, I'd say, "Oh, that sounds fun." Then it's up to him to ask you out. He may have a girlfriend thar you don't know about. I can't tell you how many times men flirted with me as if they were gonna ask me out, but they didn't, and I found out they were married or had a girlfriend.

I see it as okay, there’s attraction, so thanks for the ego boost. But is there enough bravery, enough gumption, ambition, drive to firm up plans? If he wanted to, he would. Otherwise, cool little ego boost but nothing more.

Even if he is truly shy and interested in you, you don’t want a man who is that cripplingly shy that he can’t initiate a conversation to pursue his wants and best interests! Imagine how you would have to do everything for him in the relationship. Give him the space to prove he can do it. If not, let it go.

Co-sign everything here. He has to ask you out on a date (and you know which types of dates to avoid), and he has to plan it.

Basically, he's not interested in you. Forget him.

I echo all the queens here. He needs to pursue you and ask you out directly.

You are absolutely correct!

100% queen!
