HELLPP. does he like me?! wants alot of answerss.?

okay so i know its kinda silly to ask this sort of thing on the internet but its driving me CRAZY. this guy is kinda skater and we;re both about 15 and a half, freshman in highschool, we both just got out of a relationship but we;re super close friends, but he never used to talk to me the way he does now, he texts me everyday, talks to me in the hours we;re in together and when we see eachother in the hall he waves and says hi kelly. he always wants to be my partner in our classes, i've asked him if he likes anyone but he refuses to tell me. that kinda sounds like he does like me but he never flirts through texts or really in person, like he doesnt brush against me, or compliment me unless i ask him what he thinks of me. he just talks to me loads and follows me kinda like a dog when we're together lol i reallyreallyreally want to know if he likes me and i want him to know ilike him without ruining our friendship, cause i would hate for him to be weirded out and not be my friend the same way anymore. what do i doo?!?!:(
