What does it mean if a guy often asks my friend about me?

Yea so this guy always asks about me to my friends, he doesn't have my number.
He always ask, "how's (name) doing?" for no apparent reason.

My friend mentioned that he does it mostly after he's just physically seen me in a hangout session. Like clockwork he'll text my guy friend the next day asking how I'm doing. He also hugs me EVERYTIME he sees me, like he makes a point of it.

He wants to ask you out but is too shy to do it. If you like him but don't want to tell him directly. Tell your mutual friend to setup a date for you two or to tell him to ask you out.

Wow your comment made me realize that he's really shy. He's set up things for us to hang out but as a group for example, on my birthday he offered to take everyone out for drinks and we all went out. He's done things to help me a lot too, like he offered to take me to the grocery store and he paid for all my stuff. I mean he has a good job so I just thought he was being nice. I also think he's shy because I know his ex girlfriend (we aren't close but I do know her through mutual friends).

But there's other stuff too, like he always touches my shoulder or arms and he always tries to sit/stand next to me in a group. My friend pointed these things out to me too

Sounds like a shy guy. If you like him. Go through the linked article. Being shy myself. i consider a good insight into what to expect and how to proceed.

Well either he likes you or he likes your friend and has nothing to talk about.
