Does a guy who’s already into you , find you more attractive or datable if all of his friends genuinely like you?

There’s a guy I’ve known for awhile, I only get to see a few times a year bc he lives a little far. He’s into me, he has expressed and shown it physically. He has seemed even more talkative lately or like it’s taken a turn but not sure in what way. Recently he made comments about me being a “ part of the gang” (which made me happy, but also nervous about potentially being seen as only a friend) now bc his friends have gotten to know me more this time around and took a liking to me and we’ve been gaming online together. He seems happy about it and made a few comments. Expressed this last time he’s glad I got to hang out with everyone more and that his best friend said I’m “a lot like them” to him and how they all like me. I know it’s in some ways a positive thing but I’m really afraid maybe I’ll just be friend zoned eventually or something and seen as just “one of the guys” bc of my humor and hobbies. I was just wondering if a guy who likes you finds you more attractive bc his friends feel comfortable or relatable. I’ve been alone a few years now I feel like I’m not the best at this sort of thing. I just don’t want to be seen as just some addition like one of the boys. I genuinely like him and care for him deeply and no one I’ve met has seemed compatible to me besides him.
