I like the "weird" guy in my class?

Anonymous
The guy in my class is kinda socially awkward. he's kind of seen as a little weird/anti-social but people are coming round to talking to him. I'm very shy myself but he also isolates himself unless he's spoken to. I've spoken to him one to one once or twice a little while back. He seems real nice once you talk to him. But I'm beginning to really like him now. I've only known him since September. I don't want him to feel like I'm following him or annoying him by initiating contact all the time. There was once a while back when he did talk to me first briefly.

Before I liked him there was a time I got a little worried one day that he liked me Because I didn't like him back but that was only because I caught him looking at me once (only once though) and offered for me to use his scissors for art (I wasn't talking to him or anything before so he must have been looking at me when he realized I didn't have a scissors with me) and put my table and chairs away for me. I didn't like him back then though. But I've never noticed any other day him do anything that made me think he liked me.

When we're in our class group sitting together at lunch he either looks at the person he's talking to briefly or stares blankly into space. He's always been like that though. I've tried looking at him to catch his eye but when he stares into space it's hard to get his attention. it's like he's zoned out. I know from his Facebook he has a few close friends and some friends who once thought this of him too but soon found out he's nice. He also once told me that he doesn't socialize well with people so that's why he likes to be on his own.

Is there any way I can get him to like me now? or is he just disinterested in everyone? How can I get talking to him without feeling like I'm intruding on his space? :(
