I’m sorta panicking

So I made a new friend and we will just call him v. So me and v have been friends for about 2-3 weeks or less I’m not really sure but he’s showing odd hints I guess. I can’t really tell if he likes me or he’s just being friendly. Me and v both have math and gym together and we partner up in gym and sit beside each other in math. The first day we because friends he asked for my socials and bought me my favorite candy and a bracelet. I thought the gesture was sweet and nothing romantic but all my friends are screaming GIRL HE WANTS YOU. Honestly I don’t know and today he did something kinda strange In gym his friend is injured but today his friend could participate and usually when that happens v partners with his friend instead which I don’t mind because I have a small friend group in that class. But today he insisted on being my partner and I was like oh ok sure and i sucked at the game we played as usual but thats besides the point. Fast forward to math class I had some chips and he took them and I was like idrc it’s whatever and he was happy then he said I will give them back if you let me see your hand just trust me. And I was like uhm sure and he put my hand on the back of his neck and I’m just trying to awkwardly do my work as this is happening because what do I do. Eventually I move my hand from his neck and he tells me he’s touch starved and I was like oh ok that makes sense I guess. Does this dude like me I have no idea he’s year 9 I’m year 10. Also I have a girlfriend and I don’t even think I was ever attracted to her and I’m not attracted to v either I just feel nothing like empty around everyone. And honestly I’m just so confused by everything.

We can't know for sure, but from what you're written I suspect he does like you. However, that doesn't mean you have any obligation at all to like him back. If he likes you and wants to take things further but you don't, then nothing happens. You can still be friends regardless. You also don't need to panic or feel like there's a problem if you're not attracted to other people. I appreciate that hormones are doing their thing when you're 14 or 15 years old and there is pressure from people around you, but you really are too young to have any sort of meaningful relationship at that age. Being confused by everything is actually fine. Take your time to find your feet with this sort of stuff and don't feel pressured into doing anything until you know what you want. If that takes a few months or even years, that is fine. The most important thing is that all of this is at your own pace.
