Search Results: he doesn''t like me back

So recently one of my very close guy friends has be texting me "*hugs*" in the middle of our conversations. Out of the blue. Me and this guy have had a confusing relationship. We were a couple for a little bit then his life took a bad turn and he broke it off making us just friends. Weve been getting closer again lately. So i was just wondering if him texting me that meant anything. Our conversations usually go.
Him: *hugs*
Me: *hugs back*
Him: *hugs tighter.
Me: *suffocating*
Him: *doesnt care and hugs closer*
So if you could help that would be excellent! Thanks in advance! :D

I like a popular guy but his friend says that he is too shy around a girl he likes.. he looks at me a lot and he looks for me and his friend tease him about me and his friends look at me a lot and some of them event talk to me.. when followed him on ig he didn't follow me back and i unfollowed because i was sad but then his friend told me to add him on snap and u didn't think he would add me back but he added me back and he said who is this and i sent him a pic of me.. he won't reply when i say hi but he replied once when i asked him smth and we spoke alittle that night.. two weeks later after we spoke we had a fair in town and i went there with my friends and one of my bff and he was there. he saw me a lot and on of his friends called him 4 times by his name with a tone a friend does when his friends crush is there and after he called him 4 times he came right next to me and then the guy i like came at my friends and i and he started talking about stupid stuff with a friend of mine who he olny says hi in school. tbh he sounded like he came there just to be close and by the way while he was staying close to us his friends were abit away from us and he stayed with us and didn't go at his friends.. and then a girl ( who is his bff on snap) came but he didn't even look or speak to her because he was near us :) and then we went to a scary ride and he went there with his friend and i went there with my bff and after the ride stopped and we all went off my friend saw him and he was looking at me but his friends werent there.. his friend were walking but he stopped looking for me and after he saw me he went with his friends :P he always looks at my snapchat story and he sometimes looks at it 2 times or more because once i posted 6 pics he saw 3 of them and after 30 min he saw them all.. What should i do? does he like me? why do u think he does/doesnt? i really like him ( i added polles to continiue my story :p so dont vote there :P )
