I like an overly popular guy that is chased by many girls but I don't want to be one of them doing the same. Any advice on how to behave?

Hi guys, the question pretty much explains everything so I would really appreciate any advice. For more info, we're both in graduate schools (25-26 yo) and live in the same accommodation and that's how we got to hang out one-on-one until late at night and get to know each other privately.

I'm very inexperienced and shy and he has had a lot of girlfriends but doesn't chase any in general because girls chase him. He is aware of my (in) experience and I treat him like any friend, and he does the same as he is a very nice and polite person. I find this surprising for a guy that can choose women. He can be very flirty with other women, but not with me, which is relieving as I never flirt and don't know how to flirt.

He can be quite open at times with asking sexual and personal questions, which I find intimidating, but I guess some people are just like that by nature.

I'm really lost in this and don't want to be one of the girls in the chain who does the exact same thing and chases him. Is there any other approach I should take? I am far from a model, but actually overweight and disabled (not seen physically at all), so that is also one of the reasons I treat him as a friend and don't even dare to try anything.

No harsh comments, please. Thanks in advance.
