Does he just want to be friends?

Anonymous

Ok so I met this guy in one of my classes and slowly began talking to him more and more. For the last couple months we’ve been talking regularly at night for a few hours at a time, even though we no longer have that class. I really like him but he is sending very mixed signals. In the past he has mentioned a girl he likes and asked my advice but recently he stopped talking about her. The other day he told me that he had given up on taking charge in relationships and was waiting for the girl to ask him out first. He’s mentioned this a few times before, saying that girls should ask because guys are clueless. I feel like I am being very obvious with my intentions, but I don’t want to throw myself at him and ruin the friendship if he doesn’t like me. Do guys talk this much to girls they are just friends with? Is he just stringing me along, knowing I like him? Or could he be possibly be hinting at something?
