Crush on an extremely shy boy??

*this is long but please read it :[ thanks in advance

He's super shy and quiet, but when I start a conversation with him he smiles and doesn't look at me directly, he tends to look down at the ground or look away and smile and when I say hi he just kind of smiles and looks away and puts his hand up and semi waves. I asked him what his hobbies were in a sort of joking manner just to talk about something and he smiled and looked down at the lunch table (i sit across from him at lunch) and he said i dont know what are your hobbies (while still smiling). i dont really catch him staring at me that often, hes normally looking around the room but when i do catch him out of the corner of my eye and look back at him he looks away, or if im looking at him and he looks at me and realizes im looking at him, he looks away.



edit//

today at lunch i directed him to come over to my side of the table and he kind of shook his head no, i dont think he meant it to insult me he just was too shy to come talk to me i think. so i then went over to talk to him and he moved away, kind of playingly to the other side of the table, and then i followed him and we did that like three times and he was laughing and so was i, and then we finally stopped and we started talking and i asked how his day was and he said sucky, while laughing, and i said why? and he was like cause im sick. and im like oh. and then i asked him if i could see his assignment notebook, and put a sticky note in it that said heyyy (insert name here), have a good day :), and so i stuck it in the front and said there, now you will have a good day every day, kind of in a kidding way, and he looked at me and smiled and bobbed his head. hes still really shy but hes starting to open up a little bit to me, do you think hes in to me or is he just talking to me to make me not feel bad...? i dont want to waste my time making all this effort because again, i really like him. do you think his shyness will lighten up over time, and if so how can i speed up the process... lmao. what are some good topics i could start w/ him, or funny jokes to start a conversation? should i just be straight up with him and be like, hey i like you, well not worded like that but.. yah know...?Crush on an extremely shy boy??
he alredy knos u like him...sayn it wont hurt tho. he probably doesnt feel comfortable with you all up to him....he probably gets nervous.



suggestion: try texting him or chatting IM with him to get him comfortable and then maybe he will open up



also, good conversation starters are asking questions. u sound like ur on a good startCrush on an extremely shy boy??
Will he email or do chat? Might try that. He sounds a little immature maybe don't push he may grow up a little later
maybe he likes u and gets nervous around u, try adding him on fb or txting him ppl are wayyy more open when they r chatting and not face to face specially if they r shy. :) good topic starter are like his hobbies or like the type of music he likes, simple stuff like that. :)

hope it helps

good luck
I think you should be straight up with him, but don't do it in front of other people. Get his phone number and talk on the phone, it'll be easier for him to open up I think. Then try to set up a walk to a park or go to a movie. Baby steps with him. The looking away means he's checking you out but feels embarrassed or thinks he shouldn't be looking.
