SORRY FOR THE WALL OF TEXT BUT HEAR ME OUT PLEASE.

Both of these guys are my friends--Jonathan and Devante. Previously, a couple months ago, I told Jonathan I liked him through text. But he told me he wasn't ready to date anyone yet, so I moved on. The only thing that always stumped me with him was how he consistently was playful and teasing towards me. It confused me because it seemed like his words and actions were saying two different things. Devante knows I used to like Jonathan because I told him all about it, and he helped me through it and getting over him and building up my confidence.

Jonathan still is very playful towards me, but I've accepted that he probably doesn't like me. But, as of late, they both have been kinda flirty towards me. Yesterday, they both stared at my chest in the most obvious way possible, claiming they were trying to read my shirt (which I know was total BS). They've pulled that stunt before a while back. And randomly at lunch today, Devante told me about how he ended his small relationship with another girl, and yelled, "I'm on the market now ladies!" 😂

Then, when we were walking back from lunch, Devante turns to me and says, "(First name), when and where do you want it?"

I say, "What is 'it'?"

Devante responds with, "You know what I'm talking about."

So I play along and reply, "Um, I don't know. Let me think about it."

He grins, and says, "That's what I like to hear!"

Then, later that same day I'm talking to Jonathan during passing period, and Jonathan says, "(First name)... tell me what that thang do."

Confused, I repeat, "Thing?"

He says, "No. Thang."

I grin, replying with, "Describe 'thang.'"

He grins too and says, "I can't."

I cleverly respond, "That's right. It's indescribable."

Jonathan giggles slightly and says, "Oooh."

So, is that flirtatious? What should I take from these exchanges?

So I've been building up the confidence to talk to this guy. But I was on his instagram just now, and I've seen he went to some sort of formal birthday event, he wore a suit and everything. He had his arm around 1 girl on 1 picture, then another girl on another picture, amongst other pictures. Now this has made me nervous. Do you think he could be interested in one of them? Should I still try to talk to him?
