I sorta like you in the respect that I haven't done "the dating thing" a lot since my last relationship. But I've found that since I've grown up a lot, I've become more forward. Maybe you could use a little forwardness to see what is there. I'm not talking jump his bones, or something drastic LOL! I'm talking about making the first move! Too often I think us ladies think that the guy is going to make the move...or has to...and thus we wait and wait. Not smart. Guy's are chickens often...especially when it comes to someone they're REALLY interested in and don't know how to approach them. He might be feeling the same way, but given the situation of your mutual friends, he thinks it may be acward. So I suggest simply asking him sometime if he'd like to acompany you to a movie...or to dinner...anything. If you feel more comfortable doing it as a double-date thing, get the friend and husband to go along - though that makes it less obvious that you're "interested".
Good Luck
