One of my close guy friends talks about girls in front of me yet treats me like his girlfriend at times... does he like me?

For Context: Yesterday, my close girl friends all ditched me after school before the Homecoming Picnic that they said they'd stay for knowing that I would've been all alone with no way to go home because my brother was in surgery. As I was already overwhelmed and hormonal, I started crying which led to my makeup getting messed up. In general, I felt very crappy and didn't want to show my face in the picnic alone while I crying.

So: I texted one of my guy friends and asked him to get me food instead as I knew he was staying for the Homecoming Picnic. He asked where I was but then said that the lines were too long and that it wasn't worth it considering it was 90 degrees out, and said he wouldn't do it. I said that it was okay and assumed that it was the end of it.

After a few minutes went by, my guy friend ending up coming to where I was on campus and I started to cry again. He comforted me and asked me what was wrong - so I told him what my close girl friends had just did. He offered to drive to get me Safeway, but I kept saying that I was okay and signaled him to leave. So, he left knowing that I wanted space.

After 30 minutes or so, he texted me again asking if I was in the spot I was in earlier. I said yes, and to my surprise he brought me boba from a place he knows I love. Throughout the rest of the long day, he texted me to check in with me and was really kind over text. He's really kind to me when it matters, but when everything is normal we go back to our usual comedic friendship. He's a really good guy and he always does kind things for me.

But: He always talks about the girl he's *romantically* talking to in front of me. It's like every time I call him, he brings her up and I'm not sure if it's because he's trying to make me jealous or if he's doing it to make it clear that we're just friends. I also talk about guys in front of him and so we know each other's dating history.

I feel like we're JUST friends but I wanted to make sure I'm not delusional.
