Search Results: he tells people i'm just a friend

I've been seeing this guy for few weeks already
Im really starting to like him
We have been to the movies together
Had dinner together
Go for a drive to the beach together

He would initiate contact and text me few days a week – not everyday
Asking how im doing, what im upto, hows work been, etc

Sometimes after we have been texting throughout the day, he would call me at night
And we would talk on the phone for 10 - 20minutes while he's driving back home from work , gym or friend's place
He would be like :
"oh just calling you to see what you doing, Im just driving back home and thought I would give u a buzz"

Its fun talking to him
We talk about random things
We would be on the phone around half an hour
We talk about stuff we like
- beach
- how we want to go surfing
- our favorite tv shows
- hows work been
etc

And when we went to the movies, he would be like ‘come closer’

He remembers things that I've told him from the first date (over 1 month ago) and the things we did on our dates
E. g on our first date, we went to the beach and we saw people smoking shisha and then I told him that my favorite flavour is watermelon
Then yesterday he said “I thought you like beaches, you can smoke your watermelon shisha haha”

So Im surprised he remembered that

But after first date, he would ask for a kiss, and I gave him a quick kiss and left... and then he would text me 'sorry for that awkward kiss' and then he never tried to ask me for a kiss or made a move

He hasn't made a move on me again though – hasn’t tried to hug or kiss me
He does flirt on text and compliment me
Saying ' oh you're a cutie pie' OR ' you look sexy '
But Im confused

Do you think he's interested in me more than friends or just as friends?
