As they say, the first step is admitting you have a problem. I too am in my sixth semester, and while I can't speak for everyone, I will say that out-of-class interactions with my professors are an absolutely critical part of both my academic and non-academic life at the college. I can't urge you strongly enough to go to this guy's office during his scheduled office hours to talk. He's just a person like everyone else.
When I was younger, I had a major problem with nervousness and I'll be the first to admit that my professors didn't see much of me during my freshman year. Eventually, however, I discovered how beneficial interactions outside of classtime could be. Please, please, try to overcome your nervousness. It'll help you out with a lot more than just this paper!
