Cute guy, confusing actions, what do I do?

[Anonymous]

I have a crush on my guy bsf. We are really close and we play fight and flirt all the time. His friends and the rest of the school thinks we are dating. I told him I liked him recently and he told me he liked me as a friend, but then later he told my friend he only rejected me because he doesn't want to date right now. The way he acts with me is completely different than the way he acts with other girls. He hasn't been texting me back tho...
Im confused, do you think he likes me?

I'd say its ground to straight up ask him if he's not going to make a move what would he do if you started chasing other guys then. Is he going to sit back and let it fly? Cause dating doesn't mean ya like need to jump to adult things XD.

He friendzoned you. "Doesn't want to date right now" really? Very weak.

He's making it very clear that you should date other guys.
