Leo female frustrated with Aqua male

Hi all - I'm new to this board, so Hello everyone!
Are you ready to read yet another Leo female vent about an Aqua male's confusing behavior? :-) I would be very grateful if a few of you aquas can give me some guidance. There's an aqua guy at work whom I really, really like, and we've had some chemistry between us for over three years. He is SO perfect for me. We have tons in common, and I am very, very drawn to him. I know he likes me too - my friends (and his) have noticed that he pays a lot of attention to me (sporadically, of course - he's an aqua!).
When I first met this aqua, he was going through a bitter divorce (they were together for several years, married for a few, then she dumped him for another man. I know he was devastated). I do understand that because he was burned he might be cautious about getting involved again. However, I have since found out that he's had a relationship or two since his divorce, so I guess he's not afraid to get back in the fray. However, WHY is he afraid of getting involved with ME? He gives me all of these signals that he thinks I'm attractive and he flirts. We have become friends over the last couple of years, and we go out socially from time to time with other work friends (he has initiated the invitations to me), but he sometimes he gets really nervous if we're alone together.
At first I thought, "I should be more direct! He just needs encouragement!" NOT. Once I sent him an IM asking him if he wanted to grab a drink after work, and when he finally responded, it was "How about tomorrow, there's a group of us going out after work." Another time, I approached him at a work social event, just to say Hi, and he acted so nervous I thought he was going to run! My co-worker noticed (she did not know at that time that I had a crush on him) and said "I think that guy likes you! Did you see how nervous he got?" However, I think he has made it clear he does not want to be alone with me. Sigh.
What's going on? Does he not want to get involved with a co-worker (I don't think that's it)? Is he just taking his sweet time? I'm about ready to give up on him, but it will be tough to stop having feelings for him, especially being around him sometimes at work. I wish I could tell him, "We have chemistry, we have a lot in common, why don't we take it to the next level?" I'm ready to either go forward with him or get over him. I'm sorry this post got so long. Thanks for reading.
hmmm....
You cant be assertive yet, because you cant even get him to be alone with you....
I'd move on. If he ever decides to approach you, then you can CASUALLY date him (if your free).
