I need help, does he like me back?

HEY!
Basically, I've been in love with this guy (let's call him 'no problem') for atleast 1/2 years so far, minding the fact he's my best friend, we're already quite close. But recently to me he's been acting REALLY strange, he's being kinder and when I go to hold his hand (for banter of course) he doesn't pull it back? (He used to)
Recently we were playing badminton and started making dirty jokes about us dating? (we're "married" for banter btw)

By the way 'No problem' has very conflicting feelings about LGBTQ (he told me he doesn't really support but doesn't care and he supports me though) so I have no clue what this means.

We've started to text after school EVERY day, and now he REALLY wants me to play basketball with him and cards in the library?

Mind you, in maths (or any class) you know when your leg touches someone elses and you move it? My knee was bloody under his leg x crisscross :?

I seriously need help decoding what's happening!!!! :frown:

Btw this guy is an AWFUL human being; once I went off at him for it, and then he was actually kinda concerned, he was like 'did i **** you off?' calmly and coolly and he was being really soothing about it.

Sorry guys but please, I really want someone's take on this because my bestie (Not this guy) said that she thinks i have a GENUINE chance to get with him. For some reason whenever she says ANYTHING and I say ANYTHING she's always right : I'm not exaggerating or feeding my delusion, she's ALWAYS right, it's honestly scary. ANYway just a quick update : this guy has started dumping all of his, like, drama on me : "oh i don't like that guy....", "can we ....". Our legs are always touching, and we always maintain like 5 minutes of eye contact (exaggggg!) We have a 34 day snap streak and he sends me snaps of his cat :3

by the sounds of things u seem conflicted. going from saying you really like him to saying he’s an awful person. firstly you need to see what’s good and what’s not so good about him. i’ve done this before by writing it down. I’ve been with a guy who was very against lgbtq, pretty racist and sexist however i didn’t see this side of him until we dated and it really made me uncomfortable. you don’t want to get into a relationship with somebody who has different beliefs to you cause that’s just hard to communicate with them about and might make you feel really uncomfortable and awkward. you gotta think can you see yourself REALLY romantically with them even with some of the bad stuff would that affect you mentally? if it would affect you i wouldn’t try anything to date. However if say this is less then a big deal go for it i wouldn’t flat out ask him i’d just do some light flirting back and see where it goes. take it slow to see if there’s something there caue if there isn’t you don’t want to hinder your friendship. x

You think he's an awful human being yet you like him?
