Why is he hinting at hanging out but he hasn’t directly ask me out?

He’s hinted twice at hanging out. We’ve been chatting daily for 3 weeks. Yesterday I mentioned him that I used to play basketball.

He said ” I used to play basketball too. I’ve wanted to know if I still have the skills. Perhaps one day we should do 1vs1 and see who’ll win”
