1. He avoids making eye contact with you. When a shy guy is interested in you, he will have trouble looking at you in the eyes. Often times he will look down at the ground if you're trying to make conversation with him. A great test is to catch him looking at you and if he immediately looks away then he probably likes you but he's shy. He's trying to steal glances at you because he likes you. What you should do is smile at him if you catch him looking at you as this will give him hope.
2. His behavior will change when you show up. For instance, he may be really talkative and sociable around his friends but closes himself off when you're around. This indicates he is scared around you and is more careful what he says and does. Watch his body language as well as he is trying to hide that he really likes you. The good news is that the more you're around him, the more he will open up and he will become less and less shy.
3. He will try to impress you indirectly. For shy guys, they will try to impress you but indirectly. For instance if you two are in the same class, watch when he says something funny or something interesting about himself and then he looks at you. He's trying to see how you reacted. He does this because he's trying to get you to like him indirectly because he's too scared of actually talking to you. I think the goal of this is to get a girl to like him so either he knows she likes him then he can make a move or she will initiate the conversation which is every shy guys dream. Shy guys can be surprisingly not so shy when you get them to talk.
4. He will talk to you different. Everybody gets nervous when chatting with the person they like, but for shy guys, it’s even worse; usually, they will give you either short, quiet, possibly even snappy answers or they’ll speak very quickly and ramble on out of sheer panic. Again, note whether or not his speaking is extra awkward around you compared to around other people. He may give you short "yes" or "no" answers and refuse to elaborate. It's not that he's not interested in the conversation; it's that he's too interested in the conversation and doesn't want to say anything that might reveal his affection for you.
5. He puts more attention into his appearance when he knows he's going to see you that day. Because when we like someone, we want to look good so we can dress to impress. Notice if he dresses nicer when you're around.
6. He shows up to events when he knows you're going to be there. When a guy likes a girl, he wants to be around her. He's always glad when the girl he likes shows up and is disappointed when the girl doesn't. For instance, class, youth group, work etc... This is pretty much a universal trait to see if someone likes you because if someone isn't interested in you, they don't really care if you show up or not. Be aware though that a shy guy may try to not make this so obvious. He's scared about finding out that you like him as he is afraid you don't like him back.
