Should I say it or will this scare him away?

SHY GUY ADVICE:

I like this guy, but he is incredibly shy. If he likes me even the slightest bit, he's amazing at hiding it.I always chat him on facebook, always playing damsel in distress. Last night at lax practiced, I pulled a muscle and asked him about it. It went from that to sports, and it ended with me insulting his age group, then apologizing and telling him I forget because he looks much older. He laughed.

WHAT I WANT TO SAY is that he looks older because I find him really cute. The thing is, he's super super shy and I don't know him well enough to call him a "good friend". My friend told me I should say he's cute, but I was afraid he would get scared off. I'm not scary though, I talk to lots of shy guys and (not to brag) they all fall for me instantly because I'm "unexpectedly friendly". BUT I DON'T WANT THEM, I WANT HIM. Lol. should I tell it to him, or wait?
