Search Results: too shy to flirt

So there's this super shy guy. Like, never leaves his house. Never had had a girlfriend.
But he'll do little things, like always sit by me or smile and laugh.
And he's super talkative around me! He spent an extra hour and a half talking to me outside when it was cold.
but when I asked him if he wanted to go get hot chocolate, he said his dad had dinner waiting for him at home.. but he stayed talking to me? And he said he really wants a girlfriend, but is too afraid of being rejected. I was teasing him saying that he probably never talks to her, and he said "I talk to her a lot, or I try to, I think it's pretty obvious"... as we'd been talking alone for over an hour.
but then! We were talking about movies and he said "my crush doesn't like Star Wars, so it's almost a deal breaker" ? And him and I have never talked about Star Wars... does he like both of us? Is he just flirting w me because he cwn? Is he trying to make me jealous?

sorry, I know I sound super naive and I am, please be nice but leave your opinion

Guy 1: Became my best friend for about half a year. Got extremely close with me but claimed to be gay with rare exceptions and I truly believed that I was one of them. He flirted with me all
the time (and knew it he's the smartest person I've ever met) but could never come to terms with it. That strained the relationship a bit but I think that I truly fell in love with him. I left (for important reasons) and haven't really talked to him in about 6 months but he still crosses my mind.

Guy 2: Totally shows obvious signs of interest and is smoking hot. (That's just a plus.) Super nice, sweet and funny and has a great sense of humor and personality. Definitely a tough guy (but secretly really sensitive!!) I'm the least close with this person (since he's just so shy and never approaches and also partially because he's always so busy). I do like him though and it appears that he likes me too. I could and would, give him a shot.

Guy 3: Currently one of my best friend and I'm one of his best friends. Known him for about half a year now and we clicked right away when we met. We found out that our pasts are actually intertwined. We were on the same soccer team when we were both 5. Super cute and sweet guy. Has a great sense of humor and is extremely fun to hang out with. I'm definitely the MOST comfortable with him (guy #1 behind 2nd in comfort levels). And we hang out pretty often. He's kinda weird though. Sometimes I feel like he's interested in me, and other times I feel like he only sees me as a friend. He gives off mixed signals and it's super confusing. I'm starting to think that we might just be better off as friends? I'm not sure.
