What does it mean when a guy says "yum" about you? Does he want to move from just being friends to something sexual? Do I need to make the first move?

My guy friend and I message on and off all day, almost every day. He does and says almost every one of the "signs a guy is into you" from the Internet but of course he won't make it easy by just saying, "I want you." He tells me stuff like that he's a nudist and has condoms and lube in his room. He's told me that girls approach him for hookups (and one 3way) but he said no bc he wasn't into any of them. He asks me about stuff I would be into, 3ways, hook ups with friends and period sex are recent examples.

I know he's not trying to use me because he was super excited when I admitted that I like him and he kept telling everyone that I reciprocated! He keeps joking around about me sounding like his gf or that we sound like gf/bf... but that would be ridiculous! ( his words), so I just say OBviously and want to die. I know joking and teasing are signs but it makes me crazy! I just want to scream just tell me what you want!
We've said we love each other ( as friends), he's pecked my cheek, laid his head on me and nuzzled, sits glued to my side, stares into my eyes ( it feels like we're doing it), pats my upper arm, shoulders, lower back and gives me giant hugs from behind. He always tells everyone how awesome I am.

Sooo... I may be crazy but are we just friends? I don't think so but that's what he says. Could he be afraid to make a move on me? I know he respects me and cares about me a lot.

However... I'm not worried about ruining our friendship by adding sex. How can I make that clear without sending him Rihanna lyrics? ;) I don't want to freak him out by letting him know how much I want him. Do guys want to hear that?

Today just to tease him I said I was going to work out, get all sweaty and jump in the pool. His response: yum. That was it. Is that guy talk for let's get naked? He teases me so much that I asked him if he was always sarcastic and he said no. I said good and I'll keep that in mind ;)

What do I do now?
He just wants to be platonic friends
He wants to add sex to our relationship
