A question for the shy guys out there about dating~?

I'm very interested in this guy, and I can tell, mostly from studying body language and the way he speaks, that he likes me, too. However, he has never been in a relationship, and last week, when he asked someone to prom, they shot him down! My main question is, at this point, would it be wise to let things develope on their own and hope he initiates, or, as a shy person, would he feel more comfortable with me making the move? I know that everyone's different, and sometimes there's no way to tell, but I thought I would ask around! Thank you!

1. Make a move girl. Steve C
2. If you wait for him to make the first move it won't happen. It is up to you, make the first move.
3. Try hanging out with him frequently, and make it kinda obvious you're interested in him, and give him several chances to ask you out. I think that would be the best approach.
4. This guy was shot down. I know that he feels like shit right now, so I doubt that he is going to ask anybody else out. I think it would be really cool if you ask him to prom.
5. I really dont understand all the game play involved in this crap. What on earth is the big deal with being the one who asks the other person out. If you want to go out with someone you should ask. If youre not willing to go as far as to ask them, then you must not want to go out badly enough with them. And you cant blame someone else for a lack of action on your part. You cant expect someone to always pick up on indirect actions or words. And moreso if youre dealing with a shy person even if they KNOW you like them and you most likely wont turn them down...its still hard for them. So be the one to ask.
