DeanW has a point. As a shy guy, I can refer to my own experience (although I'm limiting myself to a certain extent in order to be as objective as possible) to answer your question.
Your basic answer is that he feels social anxiety, especially around you.
My first guess would be to say that he is indeed a shy guy. Some people are also more comfortable 1 on 1 rather than in group. I can attest to that, since in groups of four or more people, I tend to fall silent and have my mental processes blocked in some fashion (or simply, I can't think anymore). I hate when that happens -_-
He could also want to avoid people's reactions. I remember when I had a crush on this girl in high school, I didn't really talk to her when other people (my friends, and her friends especially) were there, it felt sort of "embarrassing", though I can't really remember exactly the feeling >.> The result when they (my buddies) found out? They got very annoying. You can't imagine it. So it might be that he's scared of what happened to me. He might also be afraid of what other people think, your friends and random people.
And keep in mind that 1 on 1 conversations usually result in more information crossing over to the other party, so maybe that's one of the reasons why he'd rather be alone with you. It also might be easier to talk without all the distractions and possible interruptions.
Honestly, I think you should just keep talking to him like you are, and he probably will come out of his shell in the future. Or you could approach him yourself in a public setting and see what happens, you don't have to let him do everything ;)
Good luck with this. And seriously, guys love it when girls take the load off our shoulders...
It could just be something he does because he's nervous or because that makes talking with you more enjoyable for him. One on one dynamics are different than group dynamics and different people are comfortable in different settings.
I think that he's more intimate or he likes the fact that you're alone and he can talk to you easier. well tell him that you want to talk to him whenever and not just alone.
Depends on his reputation and yours if you don't have similar social circles he might feel embarrassed or not good enough
