I’m sooo confused

So I have this guy that at one point I asked out but he said “no” because his parents won’t let him. A month later he asks me for my number and starts calling me all these cute nicknames through text like “princess” or “sweetie” but when I asked him about it he stopped.

Then I found out from one of his friends that apparently he mostly only texts me and Facetime’s me. He’s always very sweet and kind towards me. But I have a feeling that he likes me because of all the attention I keep receiving from him because he’s usually not one to like using his phone a lot. He’s also invited me to hang out with him multiple times. This is making me very confused because I still like him. What should I do?
