Do the things he does while being drunk mean anyhting or am I just overthinking (the latter wouldn't be surprising because I do that a lot)?

Let me start by saying English isn't my first language, so please forgive me for any mistakes.

He (m17) and I (f15) have been friends for a few years, but we've only met when a group of other friends were present, so we're not that close. His ex girlfriend is in our friend group as well, and she broke up with him 7 weeks ago. He's still very bitter about it and even somewhat depressed.

And yesterday evening, we drank a lot with three other friends. It got to the point where we had to bring him to bed (it was around 4 am by then) and he wanted me to stay with him. He wanted to cuddle, so we did. He talked to me and even said my name outloud, so he definitely knew who I was. He told me he loved me multiple times and said "You remind me a lot of (ex girlfriend's name), your personalities are very similar, but you are just better". And I do agree that me and his ex have a lot of things in common. He even suggested we make out right there (he was only in boxershorts and his shirt), still calling me by my name.

He as well kissed my cheeks and my neck and even on the lips, to which I always responded by moving my head away and telling him it's me lying beside him. He always replied with "I know". He as well pulled me closer multiple times while I tried to get a bit of a distance between us.

He also said I should tell the others he wanted to be alone with me for some more. When one of his friends came in and prepared to sleep on a mattress on the floor, I sat up to get some distance between us but was still holding his hand and stroking his hair. I left shortly after he fell asleep.

Also, I sometimes catch him staring at me for more than 10 seconds, but I tried not to think much of it before yesterday night.

I feel kind of embarrassed by thinking about this so much, and I just want to know if he just needed to be held by someone since he's still not over his ex abandoning him and if he didn't actually mean the things he did/said to me or if there's more behind it?
