Perhaps I'm not the best person to give advice, as I don't have too much experience with this sort of thing (the story I'm about to tell is about my boyfriend of 6 weeks, who is my first boyfriend ever), but I'm going to try anyway.
We were friends, and already comfortable around each other. We hung out in a small group a good deal, and then he would walk me back to my dorm on his way back to his. We had a lot of one-on-one conversations during that time, and it helped me get to know him a lot better. Eventually, we started planning times to hang out just the two of us instead of just doing it by coincidence after hanging out in groups. But nothing happened until he spoke up and said he liked me. Like you, I was too shy to make the first move, so before that I just put a lot of positive signals out there.
So in conclusion, hang out with him as much as possible, preferably one-on-one. And send positive signals, not mixed ones. Hope this helped. :)
I starred in a short film called
Magnetic Personality. Check it out!
