The problem is that we're both very shy. Very very shy. This has been going on for a few months now and I don't want to wait any longer for HIM to approach ME, but I don't know how to approach him. The problem is I'm really nervous about the whole idea because I don't even know if he likes me for sure or if it's just in my head. We've never spoken before, and the idea of just walking up to him and initiating a conversation is just so intimidating to me! Any advice?

Start by sitting near him, then do the drop the pencil thing or talk about an upcoming test or your favorite class or family background--anything really. He probably really likes you but is way to shy to say anything, and will be so excited you made the first move! Then when you know him a bit better, suggest going out for coffee, and slowly work up to having a relationship. Don't continue waiting around and stealing flirty glances at each other, I was in that position for months and it was agony waiting for the guy i liked to make a move because i was too shy to do so! Go ahead and talk to him, you'll be happy you did :)
good luck!

Well unless you know sign language you're going to have to overcome your fear and talk to him. Or go on not speaking because you're both way too shy.
How about you sit next to him in class, accidentally knock your pencil off your desk in his direction. He bends over and picks it up, that gives you a chance to speak to him. Talk about class, the teacher, school, whatever. Get comfortable with talking to him first then you can find out if he likes you later. Work on talking to him first.
