I have a guy friend, he's super sweet, he's always there when I need him. since we were young we've always been friends. I just graduated high school 4 months ago, and he's graduating this year. so you can guess how old we both are. well last year on Christmas, i decided to snap him, just to see if he would answer me back. I told him good morning, which I've never done before. (before all this he would snap me occasionally out of the blue) he then snapped me back and said good morning. so i thought that was the end of our conversation. throughout that whole day and the whole winter break he kept snapping me. and yes i would snap him too. so i didn't think much of it. By the time winter break was over I thought he would make things go back to how it was. (snapping out of the blue) when I was grabbing breakfast he hopped in line with me, and started talking to me. this went on everyday. He would get in line with me in the morning and at noon for lunch. he made this his daily routine. and whenever i didn't eat, he would text me asking where i went. It's been more than 6 months and I haven't told him i like him. but he would flirt with me. whenever I would touch him, like his hand or tickle him. he wouldn't move away, and he would tickle me back. he also looks at me when I'm not looking. Sometimes I would smile at him, I read if someone looks at you, look at them and smile. when i would do that. he would look away and smile and kinda of laugh, and would turn back to keep looking. he will also stand really close to me where our bodies are touching, along with sitting close to me as well. I don't know if I'm making this up in my head, but whenever me and him flirt, people would ask if we are dating and he wouldn't say anything to agree or deny. he would simply look at me. like i have the answer. his dad is also trying to keep me from being shy.
Sounds very much like he really likes you but 1) He fears he'd lose you by telling you how he feels 2) He's clearly waiting for a nailed on sign of how you feel. In my opinion.
I've been in that situation with a girl when I was less sure of myself and a lot younger. People asked if we were together as we were very similar to your situation and it was an awkward moment where we both stalled and looked at each other. That pause alone, despite it only being a second or two was enough to suggest we both wanted more than friendship. In hindsight I should have told her.
She said 'no' but a few months later we were chatting online and she admitted she was hoping I had told her how I felt as she felt the same.
All the signs to meat least suggest he likes you but is scared to make a move and needs a little encouragement.

When I was a kid, they'd hand you a note that says: "Do you like me? Circle YES or NO." Maybe there's an app for that?
