How do I become better friends with this guy?

I have a crush on one of my guy friends. The thing is, we are just okay friends. I'd just like to become closer with him. He seems a bit interested in me "that way", but nothing can really happen until something really grows between us. He's really awkward and shyish around girls. Any advice/tips?

Find something in common with him and then either do that thing together or talk about it with him. Talking about something you enjoy is way easier then trying to make chit chat, he should feel more comfortable then.
