Does he like me?

hes obviously very shy.

if he's said he likes you I'm pretty sure he does.

but he probably just hasn't gotten the courage to go up face to face and ask you.

It sounds like he likes you and wants to treat you like the precious, wonderful person you are, but doesn't think he is capable. He may have not have any experience with romantic situations and be talking himself out of it, each time the opportunity presents itself. Maybe he is afraid to ask in a place where you can reject him publicly, or he might be afraid you will reject him anyway. All of these scenarios mean he is agreeing with the enemy of his soul, who is accusing him of not being good enough. He may have heard that enough and dealt with enough rejection in his life. Maybe you could take the edge off by saying something along the lines of "If you want to ask me out, the answer is yes." Of course, then, the risk is on you, but I think you are able to handle that part. Help him realize, not just hear, his value, as you see him and he will learn to trust, and open up to you. One caution: Don't judge him, encourage him and visualize what he describes to you, it will help you relate to him, even on things you don't agree with, and help him see he really can trust, and be valued by, and as, someone.

he likes you ! he's just shy! I'm a pretty shy guy and I've done that hundreds of times . alright here's what you do . find a secure place , that's quiet and make him feel comfortable , then flirt with him so that he knows that your still interested.make sure he feels comfortable . and he will probably ask you then

I feel for the guy, I am shy even at 39, I won't have enough balls to ask a girl out with an audience, and since he knew you overheard his guy friends pressure him, he is even more bashful about the subject. he prob feels like a cornered rabbit.
my advise, take some pressure off him, ASK HIM out, he needs proof that's its ok.

Is he super shy? How was it when you guys hung out for the week? I'm sure you know the answer to the question better than me. I'd say he does.But he may be shy when it comes to the girls.

Why don't you ask him out?

He does like you, sounds like he is finding it hard to ask you out he is probably really nervous about it. Why don't you bring the topic up, you don't necessarily have to ask HIM out but you can casually discuss it with him next time you see him it might help to ease the pressure on him.

It's possible that he's a little scared that you might say no. Have you told him that you like him? If not, like I said, he could be afraid of rejection. Make sure he knows that you like him and hope for the best.
