If you like a shy guy, I suggest you be persistent, but very gentle. Don't come on as strong or as often as you might usually do, but keep coming on to him.
Shy guys' brains can freeze up when they feel they're under pressure, and they can feel startled and need to escape if something surprises them.
Shy guys usually need a lot of time to process their emotions and thoughts, so don't expect a quick response from him. For the same reasons, conversation can move slower with a shy guy: we usually need to think before we talk.
Shy guys tend to advance, then retreat; advance and retreat, and so can appear to run hot and cold. It's not a deliberate behavior, it's the way our brains process experience. We try it, then we need to think about it.
If she's really shy and hasn't much self-confidence, you might need to take more initiative than usual. He might want to call you but be too insecure.
Here's my suggestion. Invite him on a date yourself _but avoid putting him on the spot or feel like he's pressured_. Like I said, a _really_ shy guy might startle and say "no" automatically because he needs time to process the information and doesn't want to feel pressured or boxed in. You may want to try setting him up to take you out: talk to him about an event or place he enjoys, then suggest you go there together so he can show you around and explain things. He might respond well to that because he can talk about the place or event, and feel less worried about "what do I talk about?"
Good luck!

Just as you can always tell a banchee by her tears no matter what form she takes. you can always tell a shy guy by his fear of blowing it with you. if this guy stutters or turns away from you real quick or seems deafly afraid of making mistakes in front of you that is the sign he likes you. if he talks to you lessthen others that is also a sign. if he is constantly nurvous. put your hand on his upper back as you are talking to him rub his back slowly. once you do this if he is acting nurvous around you he probobly likes you. then ask him what he likes to watch on tv and watch what he wants to with him. your only making him nurvous to find out he likes you. after that you have to make him comfortable to make him your man
Hahahaha awww he is soooooo friggin cute. Just be patient with and don't come onto him strongly like. Shy guys can be on a roll then they can go into a shell again. They think more before they speak. I would be as patient as just being a friend until he says something to you. If not just come on to him but not strong. Whatever you're doing or saying just be gentle with him and what you do or say. He will open up, it just takes time.

If he's shy he'll go out of his way to try to hide that he likes you, to the point of making it obvious that he's trying to hide something or compensate for something. Out of fear of rejection he'll try to keep it from you that he likes you and try to make it out like you're one of the guys, but he'll fail miserably at it. But no matter what he probably won't make the first move, not even if you try to drop hints because he probably won't pick up on them.
Read his body language. If he looks like he likes you, he is. Few men are subtle, no young men are.
Talk to him if you're interest. Only a coward would be freaked out, and you don't want those.
