i’m confused!

I’ve been in communication with this boy who lives by my school for basically the whole winter break (a month and like two weeks) We’ve been texting, falling asleep on facetime damn near daily...we’ve had one conversation about us vibing so well what IF we stayed friends forever? certain things hint that he’s physically attracted to me, i’m definitely attached because of the consistent attention and how well we get along/make each other laugh..but how do i know if he likes me or just keep me around because i’m like the homie? i need helppp
