How to handle a shy guy in the talking stage of dating?

Anonymous
So I met a guy at a party last month and got on really well with him. Afterwards I asked some mutual friends of ours about him and they said he's actually really quiet and shy and inexperienced with girls and it was just the "liquid courage" of alcohol that would've helped him approach/talk to me. He added me on Facebook and messaged me the next day asking how I was and stuff before adding me on snapchat as well. We have spoken online a few times since then and he's really nice (but kinda a little awkward) asking me heaps of questions and stuff but it comes in fits and starts... usually when I'm in the talking stage with guys they message me regularly before eventually arranging to meet up but this guy only contacts me about once a week or so. Should I be worried? How do I handle this situation? I tend to leave it to him to initiate chat but have myself once or twice... I don't want to come on too strong/eager though! Thoughts?
