Go for it. If you were a guy and a girl wanted a blind date, I'd think twice before saying yes, but since it's a guy then there probably aren't any other reasons he wants it blind other than being shy/fraid to ask. Just be appreciative if/when he takes initiative, encourage him to, etc. That will help him from making this mistake again.
If you're both gay then I have no idea.
Its very easy to stay shy all the way through HS. It's not a JH thing, most of it depends on how other people percieve you. People won't grow out of their shy-ness until they get enough good friends that they feel comfortable enough around to at least start to stop worrying about what others think of them. It looks so lame from the outside but running around saying that doesn't help anything. If you're the person people decide to pick on, it's very difficult to have self esteem. I suspect this guy needs more good friends that he can hang out with, or needs a girlfriend to help him feel more legit. You can currently provide him with both. He's probably a very great guy. Women tend to go for the more superficially masculine men, I think because they feel more protected around them. But that is just as bad a reason (worse?) for a relationship as looks are. To the uber masculine guy that you feel protected around, you're just another girl. You'll likely feel more loved if you chose someone less controlling...someone like this guy. Keep that in mind ladies.
edit: Also, if you decide he's not for you, it might help him a lot to not say so at the end of the first date. Save that for the end of the second/third? I wouldn't normally advocate this but if the guy is too shy to ask you, dumping him after the first won't fix help him in the future, it will just make it worse. If he's a nice guy, let him know you think he is but it won't work out b/c of ____. If he's not a nice guy then nevermind don't worry about it.
If the shy part is true, less likely to be a user. Therefore, I voted second date.
