DOES HE LIKE ME????????

Well its like this its kind of long so well anyway here it goes. See I just saw this guy as a friend and that's all I thought of him then people mostly my friends were all you guys would make a cute couple you're so cute togeter. At first I was all yea what ever and it got on my nervous and his to well at least thats how he made it seem. But the way he acts toward me and the stuff he says just makes me fall for him. I want to just be friends with him but its kind of hard cause i just need to stay away from somebody and not think about them if i want wanna get over them. but since we have homeroom with each other my lockers above his we have two cles with each other and he sits close to me in them. Oh also we have lunch with each other. so yea its like hard for me. But like I mean he says he doesnt like me but well I've said that in the past to guys I've liked but was playing hard to get and well guys have did that too. But like I was saying he says your cute and smiles at me alot. He knows that I am very ticklelish and if were just playing around he'll be all i'm going to tickle you. He does. He's pulled me on top of him to when we were all playing around. (we have like the same group of friends) He makes little kissing faces at me and stuff. But I dont read to much into this because I mean he says some stuff to on of my other friends and like my bff which is my cuz. But like before we got out of school for X-mas our school had an X-mas party and we all just hung around and we exchanged phone numbers and stuff. But that day we got really close like really. But I mean Im trying to get myself not to fall for him because like I want to be friends and I dont want to mess that up and stuff. Im also trying not to read to much into it but you know I just dont know its just like killin me inside. He's like flirty with other gurls to so I dont kno how can i tell.
