If you see him often, try to stay close with him and drop some physical flirts on him, a few examples of this would be to hug him when you see him, put your hand on his shoulder when you want his attention, and lean into him when you are sitting, whether it be with your knee or your shoulder.
You do have to be aware of his reaction to this though. He may feel uncomfortable with this, and may not say so. If he isn't obviously uncomfortable, then he either thinks nothing of it, or he is enjoying it. It's difficult to tell which is which without experience in reading people. If he starts touching you too, then chances are, he likes you too. This is because the body language for affection is physical touch. You could also visually flirt with him if you don't want to seem creepy. Visual flirts are very subtle, so unless he is looking for it, chances are he won't realize you are flirting with him. Some examples of this would be to stare at him, hold eye contact, and smile. There are a whole bunch of body language poses that are supposed to represent to someone if you are interested or uninterested. There are too many for me to type on a mobile device.
If you can only communicate through a digital device, then it just becomes a matter of word games and a whole lot of guessing. Try to get him to talk about what he wants in a partner, and other topics under romance. People like to talk about themselves, so this should be easy. If it is actually a challenge, then force the conversation by getting him to contradict you. Make an assumption in a question like this, "You like redheads, right?" He will likely contradict you with the hair color he actually likes. If he still doesn't responded favorably, then you will just have to try again later.
After you get him to tell you the type of girls he likes, then you tell him what kind of guys you like. (This is the part where you describe him). This can happen in either order really. If he still doesn't get the hint, tell him your description is kind of like him.
Afterwards, drop the bomb. This will definitely be a bomb Everytime, there is no way around it. It just happens to be less surprising this route, which is the point.
Gauging whether someone likes you or not is REALLY difficult over text, so the only way to get him to know is to straight up tell him.
This is basically how I hooked a shy girl who actually liked me back. I don't know any other way of doing it over text.

You should ask some personal questions, but don't go too far. He will probably tell you some of his private life that he wouldn't tell anybody else. Keep him company and treat him as a friend for now. Don't be hasty, just let him warm up. Playing truth or dare with a small group may be a good way to get some info. If you just ask him if he has a crush for someone in your group , he will most likely answer it. But do it at probably the last question, so he doesn't have to tell everyone who he really likes. Try talking with him about his intressts aswell, he will probably do the same. Try understanding things he is interessted that you maybe aren't. Tell him from time to time that he is a great person. and don't call him friend too often, that will just make him afraid that you friendzone him.
But those are my feelings and experiences, and every person is different. You will have to test it out yourself. Try to do it slow, but give subtle hints that you like him. Thats at least what I would like.
Just keep talking. If it’s meant to be it will come :)

No, you're missing out on clues and context from body language. Do you seem in person a lot?
Just ask him out already!
First off, there's absolutely nothing wrong with women asking men out. Second, if he's shy and he does like you, he'll appreciate you making the first move. (No, calling a shy person 'cute' is not enough.) And third, if he's shy, it's very unlikely, though still possible, that he'll make any moves, so it's up to you to do so.
I'm shy around women too so believe it or not, I speak from my own experiences. Being called 'cute' was never enough because I didn't, and still don't, believe it, and it's very ulikely he will either. However, being called 'hot' over text admittedly did work on me. I guess it's a more believable word since it's less "I feel bad so I'm complimenting you" cliché, unlike 'cute.' I can't think of a better way to word it so hopefully you understand what I mean.Shy guy here, and i will try to help my shy brother so he doesn't need to go through all that misery. We are more open while texting, much more and there is really low chance that he will ask you out or something, even if he likes you, and if he do, he probably think about you right now. If you are comfortable with asking first, ask him, but not too aggressive. He will be probably extremely happy. It sound weird, but we usually expect from girls to ask us first...
I'm shy but that's when talking on the phone or in person. Texting I can be more open. Now have you two seen each other face to face? If not or if so have you sent him a selfie? Nothing risky or revealing but a picture that would get a response from him. Because if it was me and you told me I was cute I would tell you that you are beautiful. Of course that would be on the idea I saw your picture or you in person.
There is, he will try and make conversation noticebly. Doing his best to not let it die although sometimes he may let it to see if you react the same. However if you said he is cute he should of at least returned a compliment, its strange how he never, he may not feel the same or he could be playing hard to get. I wouldn't want to be talking to someone doing either.
"You're cute," is ambiguous. Tell him you REALLY like him. Give him big, long hug when you see him next.
If he likes you he'll tell you. If y'all just started talking keep calm and wait
It's hard to understand the chemistry between you two. Can you tell me about how both of you came in contact and since how long are you texting?
Definitely. If I would be interested in someone, I would practically do the same. Maybe wait some more, if you see more signs of this sort.
Is he still talking to you? Interested 😁
He's probably into you
Might be easier to ask him straight out
Go for him now
