Search Results: breaking up a lot

Old GAG Question:
A guy I met about a year ago and only briefly saw every week, caught my eye about a month ago and ever since we've been becoming pretty good friends. He's a year younger than me, but we still hang out a lot due to sports. Today at practice I stood behind him and he turned around and we made eye contact. He smiled and I smiled and we kept making and breaking eye contact for about a minute in awkward silence, still continuing to both smile. I broke the silence by complimenting his last attempt at something in the track event we're both in. He responded with "really? Thank you!!" and he blushed/ turned away slightly. I have a feeling he might like me back, but I don't want to misread his intentions. Any advice?
-Most people thought he probably likes me back

Update:
It's like 2 months later and the outdoor track season started so I don't see him anymore until June. He gave me his snap when we said bye, but anytime we snap each other he's super short with me. I figured I just wierded him out so I stopped snapping him and we now only talk like once every 2 weeks. I thought I moved on... and then yesterday we unexpectedly saw each other at a track meet. I said hi while he walked by with his team but he seemed a little awkward and like he wasn't enjoying the fact that I said hi. Then when I was done competing, he came over to the event area because he had to compete and we chatted for a few minutes. We caught up on things and it was a nice conversation. Then he asked for my help to warm up (which is weird cause he's more experienced than me but anyway). Then I watched him and a few other friends compete and we continued to hang out and talk all day. We went to lunch with a group of friends to eat and he sat next to me after I sat down. Then we said our goodbyes at the end of the day. I then slid up on his snap story cause he had a funny post and he was short with me again. Could he like me? I'm super confused. :( (Explain poll answer plz)
