boy trouble :/

I liked this boy and I found out he (didn't know if he still) liked me (yay?) Well he's a really shy guy and is in the grade under me (he's a sophomore, I'm gonna be a junior) , and he does not know how to talk to girls, like at all. So I made the first move, I got his number from a mutual friend and texted him. We held a short, somewhat descent conversation. I would say hi to him during school but was too shy and nervous to actually say anything more. I would always be the one to text first and it felt like I would have to drive the conversation which is very tiring. what do you guys think I should do? try harder? talk to him more during school? Or just drop him?
