I think theres nothing wrong u telling him that sometimes boys are shy too... If u tell him and it wasnt for u well atleast u try but if u dont u Will stay With it fo the rest of ur life and always ask ur self wat if.....
Just try and slip him a note that asks if he likes you. And if he says no then he lost a wonderful girl and he's worthless. So if he says no just ignore him. But if he says yes then yay!
Thats not. Great Idea sometimes they go in "for u" and they end up hooking up.... U want something done and u want it to be done good do it ur self
