Help Sweet inexperienced guys & experienced guys! WHat is a fairly insecure girl who isnt ugly girl 2 do?

i am dealing with a theater guy who is straight and i like him a lot. i do not want , but i do want him to be attracted to me, and sometimes i feel he isn't.since we havent moved past firendship yet, i am curious as to where he stands. i am dying to hold hands with him, does he experience attraction, and i am a dumb as a door nail, i do not give him my eyes too often cuz im afraid he will see how i feel, which probabally really obvious,does he get sweaty palms, and does he get erflies like i get about him sometimes? does he long to kiss me? he does volunteer hugs after we part every time, but hardly will return my gaze once i have the guts to do so..... i hope he's attracted to me. my friends say he is but hes playn it cool, what??? It's weird, he's not shy, confident, or is that a cover up? is he just nervous or anxious with these sort of things. I do not want to chase him away or scare him off. but im afraid giving him distance, what if he forgets about me? or he thinks i did? golly! i do not want to hear the words "i'll call you" and never get a call until a few days later, why can i not be a girl he is dying to talk to, or am i that girl, he just cannot multi-task? or cannot handle it? i am way convinced hes never had a gf, but i have never had a bf before. i have only kissed one guy and that was 7 and a half months ago, we only went on 2 dates. i am way inexperienced, yet i know how i should be treated, should i be at the bottom, or am i not, i am just really insecure???? what should i do???
