There's a guy in a class that I am taking, and he is very shy. I don't see him talking to anyone. But I still like him. What should I do?

Yes, I have spoken to him. He answers my questions, but he never asks any back.
Though, when I see him standing in a group, he does not speak either.

Find something in common with him and get him talking, once you get him to open up it will be easier to get him to realize you are interested.

Try a compliment that can lead into a conversation with some nudging. Shy people tend to have a lower self esteem. A compliment can help boost the ego a little bit and provide more needed confidence to open up.
Be prepared to cover up awkward silence and keep the chat flowing. And as long as you're interested, be sure to end conversations with words of encouragement. You don't want him leaving the encounter and having time to falsely logic himself into thinking he looked like an idiot. Remember subtleness doesn't usually work with shy people.
What is it that you like about him? Does he seem smart; are you looking for a guy who will let you do all the talking? Compliment him on that and ask if he'd like to go some where to talk after class or for lunch etc.
Let us know how it goes.

Personal space can be a big deal with shy people. They can have a fear of being "trapped," and you don't want to seem confrontational.
When you speak to him, try it standing along side rather than facing him. Ask him a question pertaining to class, "When is something due?" "How long did the teacher say the essay was supposed to be?" Ask no more than two questions, thank him and move on saying something on the order of "See you in class."
You have let him know you noticed him and value his listening skills. Say "hi," smile and nod when you see him. In a few days, ask for his help or explanation with a problem from class. Thank him and move on.
After a few times of these short conversations, you might ask him if you could meet for lunch and talk about some issue in class and so on. If he doesn't want to be friends, he will let you know after the first couple of questions. If he is willing to be friends, your slow and gentle approaches will show him that you aren't going to pressure him and make it easier for him to talk to you.
The fact that you are listening, making eye contact, and asking his advice is a way to flirt in a low key way that works well with shy people of all types.

Well if you look at him it's a proven fact that he might know you're looking at him. Then smile really nice and look kind of shy. Then next day ask him what his name is and talk a little bit everyday. Act Cool! And laugh at anything he says even if it sucks( It'll make him feel better)
-Good Luck!

Hi JRose,
If he's shy to talk then use little notes that you can pass to him BEFORE class.
Tell him that you like him and tell him little things about yourself, and be sure to ask some sort of question about him in the form of a compliment.
~ie. If he's in good shape, ask him if works out in a gym or if he's just naturally fit and healthy?
*(something simple and not too personal though, or he might become defensive)
Then AFTER class you have set yourself up perfectly for a bit of conversation in order to find out the answer to your question.
As he becomes familiar with you I bet he won't be so shy.
Good Luck.

Start talking to him and get to know him......then ask him if he would like to hang out sometime and maybe go bowling or to the movies, you can maybe persuade him to invite some of his friends and let you invite some of yours,after you get to know him and talk to him a little bit just start flirting with him.......You could always just start right off the bat though!

Ooh, this happened to me too!
Anyway, watch out for tell tale little signs he might like u, like doing stuff for u, or not complaining when u ask him to do stuff for u (altho for a weird reason, guys LIKE getting trampled on by girls..)
THEN talk to him! Not about this, but become friends with him. Otherwise this guy may get scared off

Have you tried talking to him? Smile when he looks your direction. If there is a test coming up or something you could discuss with him, ask him for some help or his advice. Good luck!
