Should I keep trying?

I've liked this guy for about a year and a half now and he is everything I could ever want in a partner. He was in my class last year but I never talked to him. A friend of mine ended up telling him and he said that he "Wasn't looking for a relationship" so I don't know if he meant that or just wasn't into me but didn't want to hurt me. I ended up giving him a note explaining what happened (per my friend's request) and he was really nice about it but he never said anything to me and I think I freaked him out. He is a year older than me and isn't in any of my classes this year but we go to the same church. The only thing is there's never a good time to talk to him and I don't want to freak him out more. I've been getting mixed signals from him recently and I'm not sure what it means. I was kind of thinking I would give it until summer and talk to him then if I still like him because we may be working the same summer job and my church always has a picnic, which are both better times to approach him. I want to give him time too so I don't scare him. I'd just like to know if I should keep trying, how to approach him when/if I do, and how to nonverbally get his attention before doing so.

Should I keep trying?
