Should I consider continuing this?

i recently met this guy in my college town bar, right before Thanksgiving break unfortunately. just to find out his hometown is the one right next to mine. with the family festivities with the holidays, we haven’t hung out except when we’re back in our college town, where we hang out every day. however, he does call me every day/night, facetimes me, would rather fall asleep on the phone with me than for me to hang up and let him go to bed, and actually just called me “his best friend.” he is always sending me things on any social media platform when we aren’t actively talking and is always hugging me when we’re together. he talks about to future, but jokes heavily about other girls and has even gotten jealous of a random snapchat i once received from an old roster spot and was worried that i was getting with other guys. i plan to have a talk with him about what we are, but are these actions alone enough for me to think that he might like me?

Hmm, it's a tricky situation for sure. On one hand, it seems like this guy is really into you - the constant communication, the flirting, the future talk, and the jealousy over other guys all point to him having some pretty strong feelings. That's a good sign he might be interested in more than just friends.

At the same time, the way he jokes about other girls is a little concerning. That could mean he's not ready to fully commit or is keeping his options open. And the fact that you haven't really defined what you are yet is also a bit of a red flag.

My advice would be to definitely have that talk with him about where you both stand and what you want this relationship to be. Be direct and honest about your feelings and what you're hoping for. If he's truly interested in you, he should be willing to have that conversation and figure things out.

If he gets defensive or shuts down when you try to have that chat, then that's a pretty clear sign he's not ready for anything serious. You deserve someone who is excited to be with you and isn't keeping one foot out the door.

Overall, I think the signs are pointing in a positive direction, but you won't know for sure until you have that conversation. Just make sure to stand up for what you want and don't settle for less than you deserve. Hopefully he'll step up and you two can get on the same page. Good luck!

That all sounds very positive to me.
