For most shy guys, it's not about you having to take charge and do everything. It's about him not wanting to face rejection because rejection sucks. You don't necessarily have to ask him out yourself (for some you might, but not most), but you do have to basically tell him straight up that you like him. Flirting might help, but probably not enough, since he most likely isn't used to being flirted with. Playing hot & cold or any other such game isn't going to somehow make him more attracted to you, but rather just keep him in his pit of indecisiveness.
Being a shy guy myself, here's my experience with my girlfriend. A mutual guy friend of ours asked me one day if I would consider dating her. I told him yes, and the next day she told me over Facebook chat that she told him to ask me that. That was my first indication that she had interest in me, and that was after knowing her for about 9 months. So yeah, I'm pretty surprised I wasn't friend zoned long before that. Any indicator you give will probably have to be extremely strong and straightforward.

Yes at certain times its hot when a girl takes charge.Shy guys will tell you they like you but its in a very cryptic way. Meaning you really have no idea. If there making all the time in the world for you basically making it seem as if thier world revolves you than they like you.
Most girls don't seem to like being the one to take charge,at least the ones I meet. Its just stupid how 2 people can like each other but there both too afraid to make a move. I've been there and it sux. So if the guys not doing than you do it. Its fun when a girl asks you out or chases after the guy for a change.

I happen to be socially akward and reserved which can be confused with shyness. I would love a girl to take charge. as long as you're not a bitch. most guys in general would like you to ask them out. probably more so with shy or socailly akward guys. you're idea is right if don't make it most likely won't happen.
I love aggressive and confident women, I believe all genders love it when their oppossite takes charge, it takes the pressure off our shoulders and gives us a confidence booster, I wish more girls would ask guys out. I hate how people, society, and culture, all of that "Alpha Male bullsh*t" have corrupted our minds.
I'm a very shy guy when it comes to women, and from personal experience I find nothing more attractive then a woman that takes charge.
You are right about shy guys, we won't tell you we are interested in you unless you directly tell us that you are interested in us first.
Go out there, grab your guy, tell him how you feel, and ask directly how he feels. If he responds in kind, then order him to kiss you, or something like that, he will be the happiest guy in the world. ;)You have to get to know the guy first and they you can tell..if he's queit...your going to hafta ask him out...if he's outgoing hell ask you sooner or later,believe me ...youll kno
