Dating someone with no confidence

Not sure if it's classed as dating when it's only been a few weeks but here goes...

I knew he was shy when I met but I found it cute. Now we've got to know each other better he isn't. But he has such little confidence that it's a bit hard work. I can't compliment him without him questioning me about why I think that. When it comes to foreplay it's all fine, but when it comes to anything else. He'll do it for a about 5 mins and then stop saying that it's clearly not working and he's shit. I'm being patient as after lots of times there's been no actual dtd. But what do I do?

I've asked if there's anything I can do to help him relax etc but he says that's putting him under pressure!

He's lack of confidence is rubbing off on me and making me question what's wrong with me and why can't I get him 'in to' it - it sounds mean but it's a bit of a turn off.

Well cogito he literally is now. I had caved but a lightbulb moment happened about 10 mins ago and I just did it. I feel guilty as I had to be harsh and it's clear that I've upset him. But I feel that a weight has been lifted.
