How does he feel?

I've liked a guy in my class for a while. He's kind, smart, funny, and kinda quiet. The only problem is we don't talk. I told a few friends and it got to him. He never spoke to me about it, but he told mutual friends that he wasn't looking for a relationship. My friends then convinced me to write him an explanation (not love) letter. We didn't speak for the rest of the year. I did start going to my friends church, which also happened to be his. I saw him there a while ago, and he was laughing, smiling, and cracking jokes toward/me me. He also kept staring at me and coming near me. His family (who has never met me) kept looking at and talking to me. I thought I was getting somewhere, but today he's back to not acknowledging me. I'm not sure what to do next or how to understand how he feels.

It also may be worth it to mention that he has female friends that he seems quite comfortable with. I have never seen any of them together alone, but I'm not sure if he has any interest.
