I know this is going to sound rather cliche, but honesty really is the best policy.
If you are really interested in this guy, you certainly do NOT want to slip into the 'friend' trap.
I know it's a bit difficult confronting someone about your feelings, but keep in mind...he's dropping hints too!
It seems to me you guys are in the same boat here. He's sat about wondering how you feel about him and if he has a chance beyond friendship. And he's probably concerned that you'll reject him were he to approach you on a romantic level. And even worse, he's probably terrified that if he does let you know he likes you beyond friendship the establish relationship with you will be jeopardized if anything negative occurs were he to decide to be upfront with you.
Here you are, sat about thinking the same thing!
Start dropping larger hints for starters. Compliment him. Do it sincerely though. You don't want to leave him wondering if you are only joking around. Make it a point to be near him. If possible add a bit of seduction to the contact you have with him. Find a reason to whisper something to him. Bite your lip and look away only to return your gaze again. Lean towards him when you speak to him. Touch his shoulder when you're talking. Don't leave room for him to question where you truly stand.
After you've dropped enough bigger hints, give him a bit of cheekiness. Say something along the lines of, "I was thinking you should take me to a movie. We can watch something scary, but I'm warning you...you might have to hold me during the movie!"

Honey, if he misses all that...Lord, find you another man. ;)
