Help...we're both too shy...what to do?

[Nobody Particular]

Ok everyone, I don't usually post to message boards like this, but I'm in serious need of some advice and I thought I'd give this a try. I just started going out with this guy. We've been seeing each other like every weekend for the past couple months. And we email each other and talk on the phone periodically during the week. I think there's a connection there. I mean I know how I feel about him. I like him a lot, and in between the times we get together I can't wait to see him again. But here's the problem...I just can't read this guy at all. He's a little distant. He has let his guard down a little from when I first met him, but there's still something there. I am definitely not the "forward" type of girl. I'm very shy and even at my age (I'm 24) have not had a lot of relationship experience in my life. So, I've kind of been waiting for him to make the first move...or at least give me a clear signal that I should. But in this case, I think he's even more shy than I am, and possibly more inexperienced. Every time we go out I think that maybe he will give me some indication that he'd like to get closer, but like I said, he's just so distant. And I'm too shy to do anything because I don't want to act on a feeling that he may not share. But, I think he likes me too...otherwise why would he ask me out, or call me? Most of the time I let him call me because it helps me decide if he really wants to talk to me...I hate to be pushy. So he continues to seem interested in being around me, but I just don't know how much he's really into me. We get along really well. We have fun together. And we've both been open about how shy we are, so it's not a big secret. If this all sounds confusing, it's because it is...and I am confused! Can anyone offer some advice on how to deal with him? I really like him, otherwise I wouldn't be trying so hard to make sense of this. He's just so shy. I don't think he would ever make a move. I mean what's a girl gotta do to get a kiss? It's been a month or so of dating (movies, dinner, etc.) and no kiss. Neither of us has the guts to go for it. I need some advice on how to get over this. I think I am going to have to be the one that ends this stand off. I just don't want to freak him out since he's so shy. Anyone know a good way to go about this? Should I talk to him first to see how he feels about me? Or should I try to hint at it? Should I just kiss him and see what happens? (maybe a bit bold for me...haha). Anyway, please...help is much appreciated! Thanks all!
