I'm going to probably give you a long answer...because this is an important subject...and...I like to give longer answers.
Truth time: I've felt like this twice.
This is not love. It's infatuation. They're very different but you can surely confuse one for the other.
I %100 believe in love at first sight. It can for sure happen. So it could be this. Thing is...from my experience...I've thought. "oh, this is love! He's the one for me! I know it! I just know it!" he was all I could think about...I had multiple dreams about him. All I wanted to do was be with him. Praying to god about him...when I really don't pray very often. But...both times...I was wrong. He wasn't for me.
Love at first sight doesn't exist with just one person. And no matter how much I cared for him...it didn't mean anything. I never dated either.
I'm not trying to discourage you. Because...if this boy is shy...maybe he's afraid you don't like him and doesn't want to make the first move.
Have you tryed flirting with him yet? Just do a little something every once in awhile to show you are interested. But don't over do it. Guys very much dislike that. And I truly hope you and this guy work out. Because if it doesn't...it's heartbreaking. Believe me...it's happened to me two times and I know it hurts. I am still friends with both of them however. But I hope things work differently with you and you can show this boy the extreme capacity to love you obviously have. Because getting him is the hard part. Stories like these...that work out well for the girl...the boys don't leave...and when they do...it's a long time after you get together. (:
Good luck(
