Open Question: Guys, do you think he likes me?? 20 pts?

I really liked this guy, so I figured I had nothing to lose by telling him the truth. Here’s what happened:

«I like you, and think you’re cute. What do you think of me?» I whispered.

«You’re awesome,» he said.

«Do you like me?» I asked.

«Yeah, I like you.»

But then I was confused because my friend told me that he might’ve only meant he liked me as a friend. So I asked again did he like-like me and he said, «I don’t know». The next day, I ignored him and he kept staring at me always wanted to be near me. Plus, I heard one of his guy friends say, «She’s probably just playing hard to get». I decided to stop ignoring him, so I started texting him.

I saw him today for the first time in two months, and I ask, «Do you like me?» and he says, «No, not in that way, as a friend. I only see you once a week!» I was really hurt by his rejection, but I successfully moved on. Although, he acts really strange around me. He never makes eye contact, even though he always comes near me. I’ll tell a really funny joke, then everyone will laugh, except him, even though he did before.

I should let you know, we’re 14. He can be very immature at times, like the typical outgoing joker type. I don’t understand him at all.
