Am I being friendzoned by a guy or is he taking it slow?

Anonymous
This guy I started talking to has been a roller coaster. We talk several months at a time, then stop and then would start it up again.

it’s been almost a month since we first started talking again. This entire time we always see each other in group settings and he’s platonic in a sense. Friendly but never feels right to like hook up. It seems like he’s trying to take things slow even though we used to be very affectionate with each other previous times.

He always asks if Im going to be there & apparently that’s why he goes according to his friends but like nothing happens. So I feel friend-zoned, we’ve been alone with each other too & it gets mildly flirty but it’s always this chill/calm vibe. He’s always asking to get photos together & asked to be on my Instagram/snapchat because “he needs more followers.”

Im shy about making a move & I don't know if like he’s not making a move because he is friend-zoning me or like shy about it. He knows I like him or at least interested in him. So yea.

Also last night all of us made this bonfire get together. Which was fun but he brought this girl who is actually just a friend and nothing else. He knew I was going to be there since we saw each other / suggested it to him so I kinda was curious on why he brought her. If it was like “more people the merrier” or meant something else. He posted me on his snapchat story but then after like 3 hours he deleted it. also he’s very attentive in person/always asking questions but super dull/distant with text/snap conversations.

I don't know help? Again it will almost be a month of talking and he hasn’t even tried to kiss me once, even though we have before.
