Search Results: he ignores me when im at his house

I like this guy a lot. Basically we talked just as friends and he'd always say stuff like im going to steal ur heart and i took it as a whole joke. Cuhz i saw him as a friend. We'd play imessage games and thats really it. Anyways recently i left my phone at my friends house and she read one of his messages that was sent on the day i left my phone their i guess she didn't know who it was cuhz i saved
his contact as a yellow heart and she just left him on read. And after a while he texted back ur not gonna say anything and she typed "hold onn!!!" I didn't know any of this and i thought he was just ignoring me.. until she told me what she did.
One of his friends came up to me and asked do u like him and i said no because i didn't tjink i did b4 until we stopped talking and i can't even get him out of mind... like he's all i think about. The thing is i want to know if he likes me. My friend tried asking him if he liked me and he said no but he wanted to know whether i liked him or not.
I dont get why if he didn't like me why he'd wanna know if i liked him. I dont want to stary talking to him out of now where but i wanna tell him the truth. But i need to knlw if he likes me or no because its just gonna me nervous if I don't know.
