You need to let him know that you are shy, first of all. When a shy person doesn't respond to someone's efforts to get to know them, that person always assumes that the shy person isn't interested; no one ever assumes that that person is just shy. He thinks you don't like him, and were trying to blow him off. It's very important that he knows WHY you didn't respond.
You don't need to tell him that you like him at this point, but you might want to mention "you seem cool" or "you were really funny" or something like that, so he has some idea that you are at least interested in seeing where this is going.
Relationships are built on a foundation of communication, and if you can't or won't communicate, you'll never be able to have a relationship. The thing is: he is undoubtedly nervous too, and there's really no reason for either of you to be. So relax, breathe, and smile, and find a way to break that initial ice, and you'll be okay.

First of all, relax. From your question, it seems he is still trying to go for you. What you got to do is to show him you are interested, but not too aggressively. For example, you can say hi to him when you meet him in school, maintain eye contact with him when talking to him. The point is to show him you are interested using body language.
Breathe & relax.
On the inside I am also a little shy around guys but I overcome that by smiling and laughing and pretending like I am talking to my best friend.
What I would do that this point is to show your interest by texting him, "would you like to grab coffee this Saturday at _____." Or "there's an [event] going on tomorrow, would you like to come?"
As for boosting your confidence, I suggest hitting the gym or going for a run, the adrenaline really helps. Or talk to someone you're close to like your mom or a best friend right before the date so you're already in the "talking mode."
I would not tell him that you like him yet...your actions should speak louder and words can scare guys off. If you want him to know that you're shy, you can say something like "It takes me awhile to open up to people I don't know well."
Hope that helps and good luck!

MrOracle is right about guys losing interest that way. I am in a situation that you described with a girl at my campus. We guys lose interest in an endless game. Give him hints or some sort of feedback. Real feedback. not just something that's unclear. make sure you take LilKim 's advice first then you can give him feedback through that way.
.text him and tell him that you'll be free on such and such day and ask him what he's doing on such and such day and if he is smart he will ask you out on such and such day.
Sounds like he's into you definitely.
Be courageous. Tell him you like him. And otherwise text him.
Good luck!

Lay your cards on the table. If he shoots you down it's his loss, you tried.
Text him. Then you can say somethings and act on them later.
Tell him. You have to be confident. You may just lose him if you don't show any signs of interest.
Tell him what you feel. Saying you're shy and that you like him works just fine. If it doesn't feel accurate to what you feel, then you aren't showing him your true self.
You need to show it to him kiss him every now again or else he will get frustrated and leave
show signs of interest and tell him that you like talking to him or something like that and that we should hang out some time
Compliement him and see how he responds. If it goes well, you will be able to start a connection with him.
It seems that he really does like you.
