Search Results: letting go

For context, I'm 17F, and a Senior in high school. My bus gets there pretty early, about 5 minutes before the others do. A while back, I met a guy. Let's call him Ryan (17M). And once he arrives at school, he always comes and sits down next to me on the stairs. For the last two or so months, he's been getting really close to me. And I don't know if he's leading me on, or whether or not he likes me. So, I'm going to list 3-4 things, and hopefully, I can get some advice on that.

• 1: At an assembly a few weeks ago, he was just sitting there, looking into my eyes, not saying anything. And then one of my friends suggests he should sit and turn around so he could see, and he came up and sat next to me, and was leaning into me the entire assembly, showing me stuff on his phone.
• 2: A week + 1/2 ago, I carried a baggy red overcoat to school, and I had set it down on the stairs. We talked normally, and when we went to get up, he grabbed it, took off his hoodie, and put it on. I wore his, and he wore mine, for the day. He returned my overcoat back to me but didn't want to take his hoodie back, so I still have it.
• 3: About 2 days ago, he took my hand and was comparing his hand's size to mine. (mine is significantly smaller.) He turned my wrist over, and took the bracelet that I was wearing, off. Then again, he wore it for the whole day and then gave it back.
• 4: Yesterday, we were sitting, and he asked to play the game I was playing. I handed him my phone, and he was just playing. I was talking with someone, and was just letting him mindlessly play. He poked my side, told me it had turned off, and went to hand me the phone. Since I was busy I just told him the code. (a mistake I know.) My other friend left, and I looked over and he was just mindlessly scrolling through my phone, going through my photos and apps. (I had a few photos of him in my phone, which he smiled at.)

And here we are. Advice?

English is not my first language so my grammar and such might be off.

So I'm the youngest of my siblings and have a niece 21 and nephew 16 from my sister and brother. And I am 22. So one day the three of us went shopping and the store owner is very familiar to my family but first time meeting me. So on that day I kept looking in his direction without letting him notice cause damn he is so handsome. But I was super quiet other than shaking his hand and saying hi and goodbye.

He was helping us out but I kept every now and then turning to his direction and would catch him staring with a slight smile but quickly looking away when he sees me looking.

The second time we went he didn't look as much but was friendly then he asked my niece not me directly just her if I'm her sister she said not I'm actually her aunt and he looked so shocked and confused we laughed and he again said to her im very quiet and on silent mode we laughed and I just said yeah and he looked quickly at me.

Third time walking up to the store his outside helping one of his workers but when he sees us he quickly stops and walks in to wait for us to greet and help us out but little distracted and later on I went with my other niece who was younger into the store he was busy but when walking away he smiles.
Later on when walking past the store I can see him coming to stand in the doorway just staring at us but with such serious but curious eyes.
I'm really attracted to him and don't see him often but when I do I keep looking for signs do these mean anything please don't think I'm a shallow or selfish or self praises myself trying to trick myself thinking he is giving signs. People asking me about our cultures, His Muslim and im Caucasian.
