"I s this boy worth to be your friend ?" I don't get this part. Why would he be unworthy? You're as shy as he is. Just say it to him first. We live in a world with emancipation and all, show some of it. Now, just go for it and good luck.

Men hate commitment. He may indeed love you, but may be afraid of the consequences; it means you are boyfriend/girlfriend/lovers. It's a good idea to be straight and honest. If it was me, I'd lead up to it slowly with something like this: "I like being with you...do you feel the same?" "I have strong feelings towards you and I'm not sure if you feel the same way...." And then leave it for him to say how he feels. Another approach might be to say something like; "If I said that I love you, what might your reaction be?" I don't know if there's a perfect way to communicate this important thing. But remember that you may fall in love and out of love many times before you find your ultimate soul-mate. All the best with this one.

if a man doesnt love you, he won be your friend but if a man loves you, he wont just be your friend 如果一个男人不爱你，他不会跟你做朋友 如果他爱你， 就不会仅仅跟你做朋友

Life is too short to wait. Say it to him. it's not a big deal if he said no.

Oi, my friend had that whole "He says HE loves me first" thing going on. Really, just say it. If he doesn't return the feeling, then your life doesn't change. It goes back to how it was when he didn't say it. You'll never know until you say it! He's shy, remember? So there's really a chance he does love you. Don't stay wondering too long ^.- Try not to be the shy one this time.
