He is interested but won't approach me?

Anonymous
This guy is someone I noticed in the library a while back. Eventually I started showing interest by making eye-contact but he wasn't always returning it, but I would hear from my friend that he was looking secretly. Then after 2 weeks he once passed by me and smiled at me so recently, this week we have been smiling towards each other every time we see each other.

I also made myself approachable, not being with friends etc but he still won't just approach me and I have never had to approach a guy before and I'm too shy, also I believe the guy should approach the girl...especially if she declares obvious interest! So why isn't he approaching me? I mean its obvious he's attracted and interested but he won't make the effort and that confuses me so I wonder if I should just give up?

I did consider he might be shy (although he's one of those hot guys who is confident so that took a while to decipher) but by now, we both are obvious about our interest so I don't understand and wonder if it hasn't happened now then it never will right? Even my friends notice it so does he even want to pursue?
