Why did my guy friend ask me “What are we?” and then when I ask him to repeat he said “Where are we”?

Seems like he feels more then just friendship for you. It sounds like he really likes you and hopes for more but is totally insecure how you would react if he tells you. I think his fear is that if he tells you, you will reject him and that it will also affect the friendship. So he stays friends with you to not mess things up
To the update: sure he tells that very often. He doesn't want you to know that he has more feelings. He doesn't want to mess up your friendship if he gets rejectes ir the things won't work out well.
He likes you, it's as simple as that. If you're not interested in being more than friends, you should let him know right away, otherwise he's gonna feel as though you've led him on.
