Second date with shy guy, no mention of interest in each other but I can

[bean]

tell... how to approach? This guy I work with recently gave me his number and we have been texting back and forth for a few weeks now but only see him occasionally at work. I can tell he is really shy from the few times I have talked to him in person. We've probably known each other for two years but we rarely see each other so we only have talked a handful of times. Recently he asked me if I wanted to join him on his lunch break because we were both working, so I accepted and it was really nice but it was obvious we were both nervous. Since he hasn't really made any moves I asked him if he wanted to make dinner that evening and so we did. Again, it was obvious we were nervous but it went well. So far his only flaw is how he likes to talk about himself a lot but I think he is just trying to impress me. I'm really into him and I'm getting the same vibes from him but we haven't really discussed this yet.

So my question is, how do I approach finding how he feels about me, and how should I tell him what I am feeling with out being too forward?
I feel like the few hints I have dropped when we are texting he ignores but I really think he is just too nervous. We have a lot in common in a variety of areas, he's good looking, and he's very smart. I feel very comfortable with him already but nervous because I like him!
This is my first second-date-guy in a long time so I really don't want to mess this up!
Any and all serious advice is welcome, and if you need more info let me know
Thank you!

Why not start asking if he is in a relationship. Because there is a chance that he sees in you a very trustworthy friend too. Don't get mixed up with the emotions. Most likely though he is a good match. Get to be more comfortable by each other by not thinking about making mistakes. Have confidence in yourself. Are you sure you want to date a co-worker though?
