I asked out the guy I’ve liked for three years in an utterly embarrassing way. Is there hope?

I wanted to ask him out. So I asked my friend to come but he was nothing but unhelpful. The moment we saw him, he called my crush over and said things like, “you're freezing up. Tell him.” And, “You have three seconds to tell him or I’m going to.” And even went as far as to say, “I’m your wingman. This is what I’m supposed to do.” While We were speaking to him. to which my crush replied with, “or stand in the back and go, ‘ohhh!’” While covering his mouth. It was awful. I was embarrassed and nervous. My plan was to ask him to hang out sometime. But it was obvious what was going on now and so I said, “It’s obvious what’s going on here now. Do you have a girlfriend?” To which he replied with, “No.” and then I said. (And don’t blame me I was scared.) “do you want one?” At this point, he’s smiling. Though I couldn’t tell if it was him laughing at me, an awkward smile, or a genuine one. He said- and these are his exact words. “I’m thinking about it.” And that was it. He’d acknowledge me in the hallways, giving me a fist bump or a small nod of his head when we would make eye contact but then today I decided to finally confront it. Two weeks later- and I said, “I’m sorry for the other week. I was nervous and it was awful and embarrassing and awful. But I hope we can still be friends.” I wanted him to know that even if he said no to a relationship, I’d like to be friends and he held his hand out and I took it. He held onto my hand for a moment and when I let go, he did. I had shook his hand slightly, thinking that was what he wanted, but he didn’t shake my hand. It’s hard to explain. I think Maybe he was trying to hold my hand And I didn’t realize? But it could have been wishful thinking. but then he gave me a small high-five thing afterwards and said very quietly, “okay.” That was it. Just so low that I could barely hear him. And that was it. did I screw things up? Is there a chance he likes me back? Or was that rejection? Did I friendzone him? Advice/opinions?
