Mates or more?

I'm really confused. Me & this guy have been friends for a few months now we're in the same college and we seem to get along really well together and i really enjoy being with him. But nowadays we usually hold hands or hug and we went to the park and stuff together. Do "friends" hold hands and hug? He even held my hand next to his mates.. and he also playfights me and does all these things that annoy me but in a good way The other day he wanted to go somewhere alone with me because we were talking and his mates came. He isn't making much of a move apart from what i've mentioned and i don't know what to do!! Please help!

you're probably attracted to each other, but are better off as friends...

you can always go for "friends-with-benefits" situations...those, in my opinion, are much, much more fun than bf/gf...

coz both parties get to have fun, without anyone getting used or anything, coz you're still friends..
