How do you feel about dating shy guys?

There is this guy, B who I've had my eye on for a while. He is cute, smart, and funny. Only he's a bit innocent. Never had a girlfriend, then again neither have I a boyfriend that is. And he is super shy.and so am I... doesnt make me feel "protected" if you know what i mean.. Im asian, and a senior in high school. And I was had just gone through a phase of infatuation with white guys.. but maybe for now B is my best bet. we have health ed together and were in groups to share problems we "made up" to find solutions for them. He changed the names in his problem but it was about him and his best friends, 2 guys having girlfriends and braging about them and how he wants a girlfriend and cant find the one.... should i move to sit near him and start talking? i just feel lazy, i dont want to start anything..

1. Shyness is OK in the beginning but after a few weeks he's got to open up or how are we gonna have a successful relationship?
2. "i just feel lazy" this is the problem with girls... they always expect the guy to initiate everything. It makes me mad.
3. go ahead and talk to him, maybe u guys would be friends, and later boyfriends
4. its really hard to date a shy guy esp. if your shy too, b/c then there is like nothing that either of you can do about it to like spice up the convo. the guy im with right now is shy, but im not. so its ok. but if your shy and he is. its hard to know when and who is going to have to make the first move. id make the first move if i were you
5. i kinda like it. they won't flirt or cheat but they never make the first move. thats the down side.
6. The only way you are going to get anywhere with this guy is to make the first move. Ask him straight out if he wants to go out at the weekend. That way he might feel good, but even so you are going to have to do most of the work of making him comfortable - it might take a while. Don't expect fireworks to happen just yet.
7. Shyness is OK to an extent. But, I absolutely hate it when a guy can't even say one word to you. Sure, I understand if you meet him for the first time, but it gets to be old if he doesn't eventually open up. I think it's worse if both the girl and the guy are shy--then you would be sitting there staring at each other and not talking..Lol. But, you should talk to him--sit next to him. Get to know him. Who knows? Maybe he could be the one for you.
8. Well,,,,you kinda backtracked on the last line of your question! If you like him,,,,you should definately sit near him,,,,and start up a conversation when your comfortable. NOw,,,if you Don't want to Start anything,,,,,,,,,,,then you should have never even posted this question!!! So ,,,,I think it's obvious what you really want!!! HIM!!!!!! Go Get HIM Girl~~~
9. DO IT!
