Does he like me?

There's this guy and I keep on getting mixed feelings from him. When we're doing group work he always asks to work with me and all his friends laugh at him because of it and the other day my bff caught him staring at me! He also makes conversation even if it's totally irrelevant. I do like him a bit but I don't know what to do and I can honestly say that I can't wait to go back and see him again... But I don't know if he likes me! And I'm to scared and nervous to so him myself so I asked my friend to and he said he didn't but she said that it was only because his friends were with him and he blushed when she asked him.
