Why is he quiet around me ?

Things he does:

I feel him looking at me. I turn around and he looks away.

he looks at me from a distance but when we sit close he can't look into my eyes.

he respects girls. has friends that are girls. but he will never initiate a conversation with me. (but he will flirt with other girls. in front of me)

he pays more attention to me when I talk to other guys.

when I ask him a question he looks down and then answers it.

when I try to seem friendly and openhearted he backs away and doesn't join in on the conversations that I started with our group of friends.

for some reason I feel a connection with this person but he doesn't open up and try to befreind me.

does this mean he is not interested ? what is he afraid of ?

(we are both 17)

any advice on how to handle this? I feel attracted to him. and I don't understand why it is so difficult for him to talk to me like a normal guy,.
