Search Results: getting out of touch with friends

He only talks to me in real life. Whenever I text him, he only replies with short answers and the conversation doesn’t continue. In real life, we talk everyday and he doesn’t mind body contact from me. He avoids body contact from my female friend such that he changed place to stand beside me instead of my friend. I place my arm on his shoulders he doesn’t seem uncomfortable too. There was once when my hand was still on his shoulder and he turned his head such that his face touched my hand. I’m pretty sure he felt it but he didn’t react and his face continued touching me for around 3 seconds. After that I went to Google for signs a guy likes you and it states that if a guy doesn’t avoid body contact from you, that’s a very good sign. We aren’t very close in real life but we are friends and have been classmates for 4 years. He tends to borrow books from me. I’m sure he isn’t a player or a jerk and he isn’t super close to any other female classmates. He’s just a gentleman. But there’s a girl in class whom he doesn’t seem close to but I know they talk online. He even lend her his sweater but I haven’t see them talk in person b4. I’ve been seeing this girl hold on to his jacket for around a month and I’m getting really confused, is he secretly dating the other girl or something? Or does he probably like me for a little bit? Is he closer to me or the other girl?
