This quiet boy is so hard to read!

I had a guy in my class all term and thought he was very attractive without making any moves. Then after the last day, I described him to a friend and he seemed very convinced that he was interested all along. He sat very close to me and sometimes turned very obviously in my direction to look at me in the corner of my eye. In the last week, it looked like he pretended to stretch so he could slide his chair back and look even better (something he never did.) So I thought he must just be very reserved and not the best at talking, let along to girls, so I was pumped after this and I went and messaged him on myspace, saying I had kind of wanted to talk to him just to see what his reaction would be. I told him that I was shy and that's why I couldn't approach in class. He replied saying something along the lines of "I don't talk to people or reveal much about myself either, so I completely understand someone like you" and answered my initial question without having anything to ask himself. I sent another asking what he thought of the instructor, he told me, seemed to enjoy corresponding, but when I replied to say I agreed we had a cool instructor and said I would be in his next class, he only said back "yeah he's cool. I'm signed up for it too." After that, I mentioned I was still deciding which course, as the teacher had two for different days of the week. This was me trying to find out which he was in so we could hopefully talk later, but he never found reason to tell me, or even respond again. Is he clueless and doesn't seem to see that I'm talking to him because I'm interested? Is he not thinking much of it because it turns out he never gave a flying shit about me? I want to know if I'm wasting time thinking about it anymore. Still worried if he will be in my class. I don't want things to be awkward.
