Opinions wanted on shy guy!

My friend gave me an MSN addy of a guy friend of hers back in October. We just chatted online, tried to make plans to meet in person in November, but things didn't work out. We continued chatting through December and January (I was in another province at the time). Then we finally met in person a couple of weeks ago. It was just hanging out, not a "date" (our mutual friend joined us) even though our mutual friend has been wanting to set us up since October. He did mention before meeting me how nervous he was...

We've continued chatting online since then. My friend told me this guy said I was really cute, and he definately wanted to see me again, etc. and acting interested. Whenever he comes online he messages me within a few seconds. Yet he has not mentioned anything about getting together again. We are both particularly shy... but I don't know what to think.

Is he just being friendly and nice, or is he too shy and afraid of rejection to make the first move? I've never made the first move, but am considering because I would like to see him again. What are your thoughts on this guy?? Thanks!

Does he know your available and interested? Have you talked about things you have in common and said something like: "We should watch that movie sometime" or something to that effect?

As long as he knows that, it's his move in my opinion.

have you told him that *you* had a good time hanging out with him? I think if you say that, it should give him enough of an open door to ask you out again.
