My best friend and I noticed one of our guy friends showing interest when we all started hanging out more. Just little things like touching me here and there, complimenting me, asking for my number
then something shifted this past week where when we were in friend settings. He wasn’t doing it as much.
tbh I was caught off guard when he started showing those signs and kinda came off closed off but now that he’s not showing signs I’m scared to initiate or try to show him the signs back.
is it just he lost interest or got the hint I wasn’t into it and stopped?

Hmm that is weird girl. My guess is he was feeling you out at first but maybe sensed you weren't giving him much to work with so he backed off a bit. Guys can be kinda chicken sometimes too!
If I were you, I'd give him a little boost of confidence. The next time you're all hanging out, really focus on him - smile extra big when he talks, playfully touch his arm when you laugh at his jokes. Let him see you enjoying his company more.
He might have just gotten shy is all, thought you weren't interested. So you gotta show him you are! Then when there's a lull in the group convo, casually ask if he wants to grab dinner sometime, just the two of you.
I bet once he sees you putting in a little effort too, he'll perk right back up and start flirting again. And if he says no to the date, then hey at least you tried! But I have a feeling he'll say yes for sure.
You've got nothing to lose by putting yourself out there a bit. Go get your man, girl! Let me know how it goes.
He might have come to the conclusion that it was a bad idea trying to push the friendship into something more. That would be my first guess. He might have started out thinking it was a good idea and as he got a little deeper into things decided against it for whatever reason. Often when friends try to convert the friendship into a relationship they risk losing both if things go wrong. He may have realized this and thought better than to risk a friendship that he obviously values with you. While it isn't impossible for you two to become more just weigh the risks carefully before taking it further with no way to go back to friends.
