You need to be a positive thinker.

He's 34 and single, and not seeing anyone, it seems.
To tell you the truth, I thought the issue would be like "what is the best way of me approaching him?"

From what you said, he implied that he was interested in you. And If that's the case, why convince yourself giving up?
Sure, you've known about him for 2 years. But probably he didn't know you until recently, right? And you are saying you aren't sure if he's interested in you. Of course I understand how you feel, but don't jump to the conclusion. Don't rush.

I wonder if any of your club members know how you feel about him. If it's yes, then I suggest you use their help, so he can notice you're interested. Chances are, he will have more interest, at least. Good luck.
