I completely agree with you. Reid's self confidence is seen a lot even in non-sexual encounters (like in that halloween episode and when he blows up the film canister in the bullpen) but his awkwardness is there too, sometimes. Like in that episode with the bartender, he says something like he doesn't know how to start the conversation, but then once Morgan gives him some tips on how to start it, he totally works it on his own. I think that's one of the things that makes him such an interested character (and that really speaks to MGG's skill as an actor) -- how so many seemingly contrary characteristics (shyness and self-confidence) legitimately exist in this one character
