This may get long, so bear with me.

I've known my crush for years. But I didn't become romantically interested in him until 8 months ago. I've texted him before and told him I liked him. but I lied and told him that I was in no position for a relationship. (Idk why I said that. I guess I thought it's what he wanted to hear?) And he said "Oh well I'm a pretty busy person too. but I'm not against spending time together."

He gets so nervous around me, he'll try to maintain a conversation but it's just dead in the water.
He'll sit really close to me, and he talks just fine we're having a conversation with our friends. but one on one he's just really shy.
As soon as I get around him, he starts slamming back beers so that he can get a buzz going. Once he does, he talks to me confidently, and is more openly flirtatious. We've even messed around before (nothing more than some hand-action, though.)
I saw him two weeks ago, he invited me to hang out at his house with some of our friends. He was yawning and told me he was tired (he wasn't drunk, but he had been drinking some) So I told him to go to sleep. And he hesitated, and kinda looked down and said "Well. uh. I mean you can come sleep in my bed if you want. It's up to you."

So of course I did!

Anyway, we were just laying there. and I tried to break the shyness barrier and I cuddled up to him. He didn't move, at all. I kinda waited to see if he was gonna cuddle back, and he didn't. So I rolled over on my side and tried to fall asleep.

I was like halfway asleep when he shook me awake saying "Hey, hey, hey."
And I got scared and I sat up and said "What? What's going on? What?"
He kissed me on the forehead, and laid back down, pulling me close to him and cuddling up to me.
So I kissed him. And that's when we started messing around.
The next morning I got up and hugged him goodbye.

But last weekend, I called him. I asked him to hang out & he was gonna come by my house. but then he went to a sports bar instead. THEN, when I called him, he said he was on his way home. I asked why and he said "Because I have community service in the morning", and he said it kinda rude. And I was like "Oh. well I was just seeing why you were going home, that's all." And his tone softened, and he said "Well I just realized a few hours ago how tired I really am. I'm exhausted. I just want to go home and sleep. But be careful while you're out tonight."

I haven't physically SEEN him since we hooked up that night. We've talked a few times but that's it.
I think he uses alcohol to give him a confidence boost. I think he likes me, but then my rational side tells me it's just alcohol induced attraction.

Also, he's never had a girlfriend (he's 21.) I'm the first girl he's ever shown affection to, at least in front of people. But he's been around plenty of other girls & never acted that way towards them (that's what his friends say anyway)

What do you guys think?

In Vino Veritas: In wine lay the truth. Alcohol doesn't change your mind; it just makes it louder. He likes you, but you should see by now that he'll need help with his shyness and his Courage in a Cup. A challenge, but probably worthwhile. Go for it.

Do women like gender bias when it works in their favor?

Yes, treat us equal in every way, even if it causes us problems

No, we should get equality when we want it, but preferential treatment other times.
