Shy Guys, will you help me reach him?

Hi guys, I have had really strong feelings for this guy for all of HS and college. He is so incredibly shy and akward towards women though. I told him via email that i really liked him and i didnt feel like he liked me but i was glad we were friends. I left it open for him to answer but he didnt. We remained friends.That was 2 years ago but i cant stop thinking about him and wondering if he is just shy or if he really doesnt like me. A week after i told him how i felt, he wrote in his blog how he is so shy and always lets good things pass him by. He sounded really upset about it and ranted on about how he feels so nerdy and nervous around women. Was he reaching out to me? I think, though he is shy and quiet, he is perfect for me and I could bring him out of his shell if he wanted. He has never had a gf but he asks girls out a and almost always gets rejected. Im not really fat or ugly and we get along sooo well. ive dated guys since then but i help thinking about what could b Any suggestions on what to say or do? should i just leavve him be?

1. well..im not a guy.. but, it seems like he does like you [not 100% sure!!] but even if not, try it out! waiting for him to reply will not work..somebody has to do something!!!! i wish luck to both of you. =]
2. Talk to him! Ask him in front of his face if he has feelings for you. You could try and hang out with him one on one. FLIRT, FLIRT, FLIRT. Break him out of his shell! I am not as shy as your man but I consider myself as being a shy guy. I respond to hugs, touches, and laughter.
3. Shy guys need to build up tremendous courage to speak to girls and whats worse is if they get rejected, this may have put him in a state where he doesn't care to try any more. Don't give up on him, sit him down and have a hart to hart with him, try and understand where he is coming from, this will help you understand where you are going.
4. Have you considered asking him out? I think at the very least you should tell him you'd like to talk to him. Find a place you are both comfortable and tell him that you'd like to be more than friends. Look him in the eyes. He'll be able to see how you feel and you should be able to see how he feels. You owe it to yourself to find out.
5. Don't let him go. You like him, but still, he gets turned down a lot.So you could try asking him out (nothing big like a date) more like getting a coffee or something small like that. Make sure he knows that you will be there for him as long as it takes for him to get used to you. You don't just get over being shy in a day. He probably thinks girls don't like him or something, but you know he's wrong. He may not have answered you because he didn't know what to say. (Of course only a suggestion)
