Search Results: classmates flirting

I'm in college. Last week, someone from my class texted me and said that he hoped I had a good weekend. He has my number because we (along with a few others) are in a group for a project together. I responded and said thank you and that I hoped he did too. Later that day, he texted me again and said that he hoped I had a good day. Ever since then, we've been texting. Not super often, like hours will pass sometimes between texts (his part and mine) and it's a really casual conversation.

It was really out-of-the-blue because I didn't think he had any sort of interest in me. He sits next to me in class so we usually make small talk before class starts. And he always asks me to be in his group when we do work. But besides that, there's been no flirting or anything on either of our parts.

I'm really confused. Does he like me or something? Or is he just really friendly and I'm overthinking it? I had one boyfriend for 4 years and I've honestly forgotten how dating works again.

And if he does like me, what am I supposed to do? He's pretty attractive, but I don't know if I'm attracted to him. He's REALLY nice, but I don't know if I could see a potential serious relationship with him. I kinda want to make out with him but not date him. I don't know how I feel about him and I don't want to lead him on or anything.

What do you think he wants? Is this just friendly or does he want something more? What am I supposed to do?

Meh I feel so confused and I feel like I don't want it to be awkward between us because we still have so many weeks of the semester :P please help.
