Question

PLEASE HELP! I need an answer!

So here is how to story goes. There is this guy at school who I KNOW has a crush on me. (His friends told me about it) He is usually a very hyper and outgoing kid who for some reason everyone thinks he's annoying. He has a crush on me ever since mid-October.
So our school is having a dance soon (I'm in 7th grade FYI) and I was too nervous to ask him out to it. So I tell one of my friends to say to him, "Hey, someone wants to know if you will go out with them to the dance next week." Notice how she said, 'someone'. So she asked him and came back to me and this is what she said happened:
"He said no, but I noticed when I started to walk in your direction I looked in the corner of my eye and saw his entire face red and he had a subtle smile."
I will also add that I have talked to him about stuff twice, and when he would answer it would only be 1 or 2 words long, and so quiet that I could barely hear him.
ALSO, He has only ever approached me once to give me a gift (it was stuff from the school's bake sale.)
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT THESE SIGNS MIGHT MEAN?

Answer 1

I think he is just shy and doesn’t know what to do, which is just another sign that he has a crush on you

Answer 2

It means, he doesn't know what he is doing.

He doesn't know what is right to show you, and what isn't.

Give it time to set in you like each other
