Is this shy guy interested? Am I sending mixed signals?

So I recently started texting this shy guy, and he came over to my house and watched a movie with me. I asked him to come over, and had to reiterate that I really did want him to come two or three times. He seemed really unsure that I actually wanted him to come over, and made me confirm the plans again the day of the date we had agreed on. I didn't think he'd actually come, but he did. He seemed nervous the whole time, and was constantly fidgeting and shifting sitting positions. We continually texted the next few days, but he didn't reply to one of my texts once and I just completely shut it off, and haven't texted him since. I've had that same thing happen to me in the past, and had it end in rejection so I've learned to just stop trying to text a guy if they don't reply. Anyway, he's tried to smile at me and I smile back. A few days after he came over we were at work, the first time being together again since the 'date.' He offered me a smile and I immediately looked down without returning it, because I was nervous. When he looks at me, I don't smile and always look away because it catches me off guard. I also have a hard time maintaining eye contact because I'm shy. I don't say hello, he says it first. I've also had chances where we're alone together to start a conversation, but it feels like a physical barrier is preventing me from speaking so it's always silent. I feel like I'm giving mixed signals, but how would you interpret this? I really like him, im just intimidated by him and don't want to mess up. How would a shy guy interpret my behavior? Especially one who's never had a girlfriend before? He is shy as well, so I can't really read him. Would he be creeped out/annoyed if I asked for another date? Would he only say yes as a pity thing?

Sounds like you both are really shy :D.

 

Anyway, from what you wrote, it seems like he does have some feelings towards you and is just really shy. As a shy guy myself, NO, I do not think he would find it creepy if you asked him out again. Society seems to dictate that the guy should be the initiator in the relationship and be assertive. But in reality, most guys (especially shy ones) enjoy being asked out by girls.
