IS HE JUST ACTING FRIENDLY??? TOWARDS ME?

hes crushing on you. i suggest you get to know him by having normal conversations with him as friends. once you get to know him better you can decide if you want to take it further, because he seems really into you and as long as youre both talking normally he wont stop liking you. just dont make him feel awkward and ignore him, because his confidence will be shattered and will most likely lead to temporary depression.
