<human>: I've had a crush on my friend Kevin for a while, but he was in a 3 year relationship with his girlfriend so I haven't done or acted on my feelings at all. Recently his girlfriend cheated on him and they broke up, he was left heartbroken. It's been about a month since and he's getting better. Last Saturday we got really drunk and got pretty close. After sobering up he stayed at my place for the night, and we kissed and cuddled, we talked all night. I told him I've liked him for a while. 

Since then, it's been almost radio silence. We had some small talk online. I invited him to my place this weekend but got a "meeeehhh, not interested" kind of response. Anyone know what's going through this guy's head? 

For some context on the situation, he said I was really pretty (and just objectively, I'm not unattractive and I'm pretty popular. Some of Kevin's friends have crushes on me which I've shut down), he liked that I was down-to-earth and that he liked me too. He also mentioned liking the freedom of the single life and he was scared (not sure what he was scared of. Getting into a relationship with me? Scared of me? Scared of being hurt again?). He's also historically bad with women (just generally talking to them) and he's really shy, tends to overthink things, and doesn't do initiative well.

My main concern – How do I act from? So far it's been me mostly messaging him to very lukewarm responses. I don't want to keep pestering him about something he's not interested in. I was thinking about leaving him alone for a while because he's probably still mourning his old GF, but I'm not sure what's going through his head.

Can you provide a brief overview of the text?
<bot>: Crush on a shy boy. Not sure if I should proceed with aggressive maneuvers or sit back and wait for the rabbit to come out of it's hiding hole.
