I totally get what you mean about not feeling like you have the same power. Liking someone is scary, and having feelings for someone, especially if it's the first time you've experienced them, can kind of feel like you are losing control, of yourself, the situation, or both. I am not sure that that is exactly what you, personally, are experiencing, but I know that is how it has felt for me in the past. Either way, it sounds like things seem a little confusing, and I am sorry that's what's going on.
I think, though, that this definitely is an opportunity for growth and connection, and passing it up might be a mistake, if the reason you are doing so is out of fear. It sounds like you really do like him, but are just unsure of yourself and the situation, and it also sounds like he has made clear he likes you, and while that's technically a good thinking, because mutual liking is nice, it might seem scary.
I would agree with Dez and say that going slow might be a good option. Since you are in school together, doing school-related things might put you at ease. If not studying together or sharing notes if you are in classes together, perhaps doing a group activity with some other students you have common connections with might put you at ease. It could be a great way to get to know him more without so much pressure put on you if you're just hanging out as a "twosome."
I hope this helps. Feel free to reach out if you have any more questions or concerns; we're always here for you!
