Just my two cents' worth, from a guy's perspective: Perhaps he doesn't want to make any move that might offend you- speaking from personal experience, I've made a blunder or two in my day that pretty much killed the moment- I wasn't paying enough attention to the cues that were saying, "don't touch me just yet."
I support the "give him some encouragement" advice.
