Question New dwarf hamster hiding

Hey!
I got a Russian dwarf hamster on Tuesday, however he is hiding from me most of the time or wakes up whilst I'm asleep so I'm worried I wont ever be able to tame him properly.

He is really friendly, if I open the cage he will hop onto my hand for a sniff, or if i have treats he will eat them off my hand. However that has only been a few times, and once he has gotten the food he will run back into his little house. If I'm in the room he wont go out to explore, but will do that if I'm not in the room-he might briefly interact with me then run back into his house

I obviously want to build up his trust and for him to want to interact with me, im worried hes a little scared of me, but im not sure he is as he will happily eat off my hand.

Would love some tips/advice anyone has for me as this is my first hamster so im a neewbie.
