How do you tell if a shy guy is interested?!

About a week ago a couple of my friends showed me this guy on Facebook, we'll call him Jake, and said that they thought we'd be cute together. Last night, Jake and I ended up at a surprise party for our mutual friend Chris. We were never formally introduced, but throughout the night we kept working our way closer to each other, and eventually we started talking in a group. He started to open up a little, and I could tell he was sneaking looks at me, but beyond that he wasn't really doing much.

Eventually my friend Katy (our second mutual friend, who showed him to me) sat down on a couch, so I went to sit next to her, and then Jake came and sat next to me. Katy got up a couple minutes later, leaving me and Jake alone. He still wasn't making any real effort to talk, so I was losing hope. I guess Chris saw us, cause he texted me to tell me that Jake is really shy, and if I'm interested I'll have to be the one to initiate it. So, I started up a conversation, and from there he kept it going.

By this time it was getting late, so everyone started leaving. We got up and left together, talking on the way out and the walk back, but one of Jake's friends who lives with him decided to come along too, so we didn't get much of a chance to do anything else. At the end of the walk Jake stopped and we hugged, and agreed to see each other at a party on Saturday, but that was it. No exchanging of numbers, nothing.

I kind of got the feeling he was interested, but he's shy so it's hard to read him. I'd like to get to know him more, how do I know he feels the same? If he does, what should I do to show him I'm interested without coming across as too pushy?

Alright, so I went to the party and spent most of the night with him, we ended up on a couch together and started talking, so I asked to see his phone and then put my number in it, so he knows he has it. He walked me home and he kissed me goodnight, I asked him to text me. Today I added him on FB and he approved it like two minutes later, but that's the most I've heard from him. I realize it's still kind of early, but how long do you think it'll take for him to call or something? I don't have his number, he only has mine.

Thank you for the help!

hi i think he is interested i think you should talk more with him at the party and tell him you like him and i think he will tell you he likes you too, just take things slowly give him your number and you will get to know him in time, just be patient , good luck, maybe kiss him if he says he is interested
