Search Results: how often should you talk to someone

I made a friend back in October or so. We started texting often and got to know each other. At one point he said he liked me, but that he also liked someone else. A couple weeks later, he said he no longer likes that girl because of her heart problems, then goes out with one of his other friends. They break up soon after.
Throughout the school year, he would approach and talk to several girls, but he claimed to have "panic attacks" and we still haven't hung out at all. A couple months ago I heard him tell his friend he doesn't like me anymore, so I stopped texting him for a while. He's giving other girls the impression that he likes them, and just kind of tossed me aside without saying anything to me.

We been talking a little this past week and he seems interested, but I saw a comment on one of his YouTube videos. There's a girl that comments nice things about his music (he posts guitar covers), and someone else from my school replied with my friend's phone number and said she should text him, because "he thinks you're cute."

I like this boy a lot (he's the only person at my school that I like), but... Is it worth it to try to be with him? Should I just walk away and never talk to him again? I don't want to be his friend. I want to be much more than that.
A few days ago he posted this on Twitter: "The people that make an effort are worth it, don't push them away." Would he like me more if I keep trying? (Don't answer this question for the poll. Answer the title.)
