So, people, what am I gonna do about this guy?

Okay, so here's my story guys.

So, there's this guy who I REALLY like and I think he likes me too. because he does all the signs that shows he likes me. For instance:

looking me in the eyes when he talks to me, gets really close to me, talks to me just to talk to me ( even for the stupidest reason), likes to touch me on my body (nowhere inappropiate but like he'll touch my arm or link arms with me), and he'll stare at me sometimes too loog, and always tease me (but cute tease).

so yeah. well I made the BIG mistake of telling my best friends and they all didn't say anything but then one of them CALLS him and tells him like "Oh yeah, she likes you. Do you like her?".

and he's all "I like her as a friend. she's cool and all".

so im a bit confused. i thought he liked me folks. why is he saying he doesn't like me? is it because he's afraid to share his feelings? he knows I like him now.

AND NOW, he won't talk to me because too many of my friends have been bothering him. bleh
