I wouldn't usually do this as I can usually read people pretty well but this guys is a weird one.

We've known each other for a while but never actually spoke much. One night we were in town and got cut off from the rest of the group for the most of the night then we went back to our friends house where he was like touching my leg and holding my hand. Then the next morning we were just normal again.

Then we started talking online a fair bit I'd always have to start the conversation but then I'd always have to end it because it was getting too late for me. Or if he does start a conversation with me it's usually to find something out like someone's numbe or something. But when we're out in person he's always the one that comes over to me and starts talking.

When I asked if he wanted to do something in the week he said "Yeah sure sounds cool" but didn't do anything about it.

Then one night when we were out he apparently told his friend he liked me who then told him to go for it but he never. Then when his friend mentioned it in front of my best friend he went into a panic and denied it massively. I've been told he's shy with girls and doesn't really know what he's doing. I'm not really sure so some advice would be nice.

Sorry for the length (: Thanks.

Well if you suspect he's the shy type then you take charge, ask him again about the weekend and have a place and time to meet when you ask him. There's no way of anyone knowing for sure, there's only one way to find out!

Waiting on a shy guy will be a long wait, so make a time and place and tell him to show up. What are you shy too??

Had to spread some rep, Tali, but you're right!

I learned this the hard way: if you want to know if someone's interested enough to meet up with you, then YOU make the date-then they say yes or no. They show up or they don't. You kiss goodnight or not. (or you take it slow).

Either way, just saying something like "You and I should try out this new coffee shop downtown. What do you say to Saturday at 8?" is low pressure enough for both of you.

Give it go! And have fun!

Two shy people aren't going to make anything happen. Someone has to step it up! If he's not going to do it, then why not you?

Go for it, you have nothing to lose, and by what you have told us, it seems like things are looking good.

Good Luck,

SouthAmerica hit it on the mark. Set a date and time with him, but at the same time take it slow. If he is shy he will start to open up once he is comfortable.

Overall, ask him out! At the same time make sure your not doing all the chasing...
