<human>: I met this engineer a few months ago, and it's progressed from bars/parties to me staying the night and planning day time activities.  The problem is, he's a sweet guy but I can't get him to open up. He won't initiate anything unless his friends are around or drinking's involved, although he's open to things when I suggest them.  He's in great physical condition and the sex is seriously, the best I've ever had.   I just don't know if I should try harder (I DON'T want to bug and be the only one initiating one on one interactions) or just let things play out as they have been?

Could you distill the essence of the text into 1-3 sentences?
<bot>: Seeing a guy who only has the confidence to invite me out when he's with friends or drinking, should I be patient and try to set more things up, or just let it be as is?
