While I don't think you should pick out matching Rock Band guitars just yet, it does sound like he might be sweet on you. (Can we bring that saying back? It's keen. Also, "keen.") He was probably nervous around your friends, which manifested in him being Sir. Awkward McSnubington III. Or maybe he was ignoring you in order to make you fall head over heels for him.
I'll let you in on a little secret: the male nerd/geek/dork is often timid around non-pixelated women. He has no problem trash-talking strangers while playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 on Xbox Live, but get him face-to-face with an actual living, breathing woman and he will turn into a quivering bowl of awkward sauce. Video games have perhaps not provided him with the most well-rounded view of the feminine mystique (the latest Ninja Gaiden game utilizes "jiggle" technology, for crying out loud), and he might be a tad shy or socially awkward. (Or he might just be a jerk.)
Posting comments on your Facebook page is a safe of way of flirting for him. Does he just "like" your updates, or does he like you? Hard to say. At the very least, you've piqued his interest. Maybe comment on his posts, or send him a invitation to play Mafia Wars.
Eventually though, he's going to have to "nut up" and actually ask you out. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt with your first meeting. Maybe he was nervous about the whole "set-up" thing. Friends setting you up can be awkward-- there's the pressure to hit it off right away. But the ball is in his court now. Or virtual court, if that's his thing.

Great answer. I was in love with my wife all through High School, and it took her physically taking my hand and placing it over hers for me to make a move. Nerds make great boyfriends though, especially the shy ones. I say give him a little more time and see if he opens up.
Aww, that was cute.
I did sort of the same thing when my boyfriend in high school was keeping his hands a little much to himself. After a few weeks of just making out, I took his hands and put them on my boobs. Worked pretty well.
mmm.. CALL OF DUTY!!!!
