Is there a sign this guy at university likes me more than friend?

There’s guy at university who I have known since March I have a big crush on (he is an anxious guy) he was distant at first but still always talked to me & I think I jumped in too quickly as I asked him to hangout back in May (after only knowing him two months) and he still responded but kinda avoided the question but stopped messaging for a few weeks after this and he messaged me happy bday and we have been speaking abit more. Since then he has warmed up to me more (He did open up to me a week after we met tho but has been even more now) he told me about his mental health, his family, his insecurities and listens to me whilst giving me eye contact

He messages first sometimes but it’s mostly me but his texting has improved (it wasn’t too bad in the first place, it’s always at least a sentence reply) the convos aren’t always long but have gotten longer

we laugh together in class sometimes and he smiles a lot with me and remembers some things I tell him even. He told me he “aims to get me into (band he likes)” it just seems a bit more than friends. He told me in conversation he can be more verbally affectionate than physically affectionate and told me he has had abandonment issues but therapy helped somewhat with this. Why would he tell me all this? He told me he enjoys gym and has started going everyday (is this to show off?) and he started smelling nicer the other day too I noticed

He has started wearing jeans more instead of trackies etc. He sometimes leans in & shows me videos on his phone of his dogs and music and sometimes can be distant for a few minutes but that’s usually when he’s tired or when he’s anxious in class (noticed a lot when he sits near the front. He told me he was going to send me a song when I put on my social media about losing a loved one. We’re alike and he doesn’t have a lot of relationship history, we’re both on the same course, have similar interests & experiences with a few different interests to balance it out aswell. Does it sound good?

Bare in mind he always replies except for sometimes if I say something and then the conversation ends maybe because he doesn’t know what else to say but always replies and his replies have gotten quicker too and can be quite long

(I need more characters than 2000😂 also when I said I was a little bit insecure about my weight he told me I wasn’t overweight and was been harsh on myself and said “I wouldn’t say you are overweight”
