Anyway, a mutual friend of ours saw us interact and ever since then, the mutual friend has been 'pushing' us to talk to one another. The mutual friend told me to dance with him when we're out, and to go for shy guys because they treat you well (I told the mutual friend that shy guys aren't my type). The other day, the three of us were walking and the mutual friend told me about how the shy guy made out with a girl the other night. The shy guy denied it (and even made the mutual friend email me, telling me it wasn't true. This just led me to be more confused) Then the mutual friend said 'you should take her out on a date' and the shy guy says 'yeah let's do it.'(kinda gingling as he said it) I just smiled and kept walking. It was so awkward and I felt like I was 12 again!I think the shy guy is attractive but I just don't know him that well. The mutual friend is always butting in, and I'm not sure if he's doing it for his own entertainment or if he's trying to help shy guy. Is our mutual friend doing this for his own entertainment or is he trying to help out the shy guy? What do I do to make the situation better? I want to get to know the shy guy but I feel like his friend is making things worse.

 I think that you should honestly give him a go. If you decide that he really isn't your type but you like him as a friend see if you can still remain that way, and if I were you I would give your mutual friend a slap for playing you on like that.
No offence to your friend.
Good luck :-)
