White guys act strange if Interested In Black Girls?

I'm so glad you posted this because I have a VERY similar situation (except both of us are white lol) Personally I don't believe it has anything to do with race. This guy in my school (I never met him) just stared at me for two weeks and always 'happened' to be in the same area I was. I think hes cute and a nice guy but after debating for a while if i should make the first move i decided against it because as modern as we all are, guys want to chase and not be chased. Finally on the very last day of fall semester, he asked me if I want candy (after first offering a few other guys so as not to look too obvious) and from there we had an hr long conversation. He didnt ask me for my number though, instead he friended me on fb a week later. This leads me to believe that he is simply shy and scared of rejection.. In that case me making the first move would be fine..I don't know what to do though, cus I could be wrong and he's totally not interested. And they say girls are tough to figure out =/
