Friend trying to set me up with one of her friends

She introduced us to each other a few months ago at her party, but I was so shy and nervous that I didn’t really talk to him. Day after the party, we went out to the bar with the guy and we kinda talked a little, but I was still awkward. We went back to my friend’s house, and he stayed for a little bit. But when he was leaving, he went in for a hug and I lowkey freaked out and refused because I was so awkward and I’m not really a hugger??? Fml. As frustrated as my friend was, she said he wouldn’t have stayed after if he wasn’t interested. I added him on Facebook the day after but we haven’t talked since.

We have a break this semester, and she said she’ll try to invite him to hang out again for “redemption”. What can I do to talk to this guy easier? In other words, how do I be less shy and awkward?
