HELP? Does he want me or not?

A guy I've been knowing for about a year now is confusing the hell out of me, when it comes to me and him. Long story short, he just got out of a long relationship about two months ago. We've hung out on our own a few times and then hung out with mutual friends several times. We've spent the night with each other and fooled around but never actually had sex. He calls me "Sweets".

One of our friends told me this past Friday night, "Hey, don't mess this up because he really likes you. He been staring at you all night and said you make him super comfortable and he doesn't feel any sort of pressure when he's with you." So, I took that advice and haven't done anything drastic since.

The only thing I've realized is that if I don't text him, he's not reaching out. The last time we spoke was Tuesday but that was because I sent him a text. We are supposed to be hanging out this Friday night so do I just leave it alone and wait for him to send me something or do I reach out to him? I don't know since he's been out of the "game" for a long time that he just doesn't know what to do OR if he's just genuinely not into it...
