Is this man interested?

Met a guy at a Meetup event. We briefly talked and I felt mutual attraction and chemistry. I messages him on the app and shorty asked if he wanted to attend a market event. He said yes, and gave me his #. It wasn't really a "date" more like wanting to know him. I really do like him but he was on his phone a lot and when he dropped me off he said "okay check ya later" I texted saying we seemed like complete opposites and should be friends. He said he was only looking for friendship at this time. I had texted him a few times within a month, just to talk. He always responded right away. I basically put him off my mind and figured he was not into reaching out/texting to be friends so I let stopped. Then I saw him at another event, he was all smiles and happy to see me. It wss a large group and he stood by me and spoke to mostly me that night. The Way he smiled and looked at me I felt as though he was interested in a romantic way. He has not reached out vs text/ call to hang out so I'm confused if he is interested in anything
