Crush on extremely shy guy, adivce??!?!?

*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 extremely shy guy, adivce??!?!?
As a formerly shy guy I would suggest just keep up what you're doing now. He will come out of his shell for you one day and you won't be able to shut him up. I'm sure he does like you too. He's probably busting his brain on something to say to you but he's just scared it'll sound stupid. Just be yourself around him. He'll open up. That sticky note thing was a pretty cool thing for you to do. I bet that made his day.
