Your opinion...does he like me as much as I like him?

sounds like he likes you. you described him as shy. duh! reserved guys never want to be the one to make the first move. my advice, watch yourself in anything that you may say or do that may raise doubt in his mind. ie never talk about other guys around him or make him feel like hes JUST a friend. try to raise your guys' relationship to the next level anyway you can to the point where he has to make a simple move with a kiss or something. cheers
