Mutual attraction confirmed, yet nothing happens

I (28f) met this guy 3 months ago through a mutual friend. I liked him and he seemed to have liked me, too. A month later I started texting him about general stuff, but since it was very smooth, I cut to the chase and asked him about a meeting. He enthusiastically agreed and the tone of the conversation immediately switched to more personal. We met, it was very nice, even romantic at times, although we didn't kiss or anything. A week passes, we text everyday, but no further plans are made, so I ask him again for a meeting, this time with a plan to state my intensions clearly. But seeing him very infatuated with me I got cold feet and decided to leave things at that. Another two weeks passed since then and he still didn't ask me to meet in person. In the meantime, however, the mutual friend went out with him and was unequivocally told, that likes me indeed, since the first time even.

What do I make of it? Supposing he has serious intentions, I really dread the pace we move at and this uncertainty of not having any plans lined up. In my heart of hearts I'm not even sure, how I feel about him, chasing this moving target is what's making me the most excited at the moment.

For context, he's rather inexperienced and shy and not the type to play games, at least not the malicious ones.
