Have my friends messed this up, is he just shy, or just not interested?

This is a quetion I asked on another site, sorry it's kind of choppy and long

Hi, so I'm a senior in high school this year and so is the guy I'm asking the
question about. We've been in the same class since pre-school, so I've known him
a long time, but we weren't ever close friends or anything. Well, my friends
thought it'd be cute for us to to go to the Christmas dance this year together
so they told him to ask me, and I did kind of encourage him. Well, he said he
wasn't going at all (he's never been to any of the dances at school besides Prom
last year) so I understand that he probably just doesn't want to go at all.
Well, it seems like after all that happened he kind of started acting different.
I don't really know how to explain it though. It's like he just stopped talking
to me as much (we didn't talk that much before though, just friendly stuff like
about homework or something) but I've noticed the past few days he seems to be
staring at me but when he sees me looking back he turns away. I don't know if he
thought I liked him when my friends to
ld him to ask me to go the dance and it scared him off, or he actually likes
me. I do know that about 3 years ago he liked me but nothing came of that and he
never came right out and said it. The thing is, not I'm starting to like him! He
is kind of a quite guy, the most he talks about is boy stuff like sports with
his friends. I don't think he has much experience with girls. I also think that
last year at prom time my friends encouraged him to ask me, and I think he said
he was thinking about it, but he never did. He asked one of his friends that he
knew pretty well instead I know all of this makes it sound like he doesn't like
me, but I just kind of have the feeling that he might. The thing is, since I'm
kind of quiet at school, he might think I'm not interested and seem kind of "off
putting" if that makes any sense. I'm trying to smile at him more and make small
talk, and he seems open to it. I only have classes with him every other day and
sit beside him in one, but I ca
n't just have a conversation during class, and he's always sitting with his
buddies at lunch. should I just continue with the small flirting moves for
awhile and see how he responds and then try to make a move? Thanks for your help
and sorry that this was so long."Hello again, I just asked you the question about wondering if a kinda shy guy
liked me and thought of some more things to add.
Last year, we talked quite a bit, but at the time I didn't like him so I didn't
think much of it. He did seem to be flirting with me then. I'm thinking maybe my
friends could have scared him off when they were trying to get him to ask me out
and ask me to the dance. Could that be a problem? They haven't talked to him
about me in a while that I know of. When we're alone together he seems more
comfortable with me. The whole thing that started my friends telling him to ask
me out was when one day at the beginning of the year he came to sit beside me
when it was just the three of us girls. They were like "what is this? Are you
two talking or something" and ever since if he came back to the table, he WOULD
NOT sit beside me. I think my friends kind of hurt the whole situation, but I
still need help! Ugh, what should I do?"
