Search Results: help with a shy girl

I have a huge crush on this one guy, we're friendly and we like to hang out and talk. Lately, he seems a lot more flirty, such as he maintains way more eye contact and stares at me much more frequently. My friends' notes he becomes much more nervous when we talk such as avoiding eye contact, nervous smiling. All of my friends are always asking me if there's something between me and this kid, and even the teachers say so too. He's a very nice yet sort of shy guy and he's average looking although I know of two other girls who like him as well. He loves teasing me and makes it a usual conversation starter. He initiates most of the conversations and usually seeks me out whenever he can. Although, there are sometimes where he completely ignores me and/or stares at me but doesn't say anything, however, he usually does ends up talking to me in the end. We're in different classes but he usually waits for me after class and/or walks with me to my next class. I have a gut feeling he likes me, however, I do feel like he is a flirt and social media makes me a lot more apprehensive. He comments really flirty emojis on these few girl's pages but they all have two things in common, they're way out of his league and/or they have boyfriends. He also has a lot of female friends too. But he doesn't completely ignore me either, he sends me these weird posts every 3-5 days but what irritates me is that when I respond he could sometimes continue the conversation but then sometimes doesn't. He also views my stories almost religiously. So what I'm asking is... does this guy really like me? Is he playing games? (Note: I try not to make it obvious I like him and sometimes play hard to get/ be mean to him) . Could he know I like him and be leading me on?
Please help me out!

There’s a guy that has been flirting with me for about a month. He is super shy. Never been in a relationship or done anything with a girl. We both look at each other a lot and it always looks like he’s trying to suppress a smile. He is always in the area I’m in, even if it’s not directly by me. He goes out of his way to help me do things even when I never asked him for help. He does smile and laugh with me but when we talk it’s very vague. He did sit near me at lunch but now will sit across from me. He sometimes stands right beside me. Sometimes he looks annoyed with me and will avoid me and sometimes he gives a sheepish grin and will talk and his face gets all red. We both have this fight or flight response and whenever we are uncomfortable we flight. I’m shy myself too. I overheard People saying that he wears a shit ton of cologne (just started doing that about a month ago) because he likes me and he only does it on days we work together. I follow him on twitter but he doesn’t follow me back. I also asked him hesitantly to talk after work and he said he would stay but not even 20 minutes later he was one of the first people to leave. I also have done that with him when he tried to stay after to talk to me before, just the two of us, I speed walked super fast out of there. We are both super hesitant to talk to each other and when we do we get embarrassed easily and then avoid each other like no other. That’s our flight response. We both also don’t talk to each other when other people are around. How do I get him to stay and actually talk to him? He also has no problem talking to anybody else at work it’s just with me and I don’t know why.
