Confused. Advice?

A few months ago I told my guy friend I had feelings for him. He pretty much told me he didn’t feel the same way.

Recently me and him had a talk and he admitted to me that he doesn’t think dating a friend is a good idea because it causes drama.

But when he hugs me he hold me super tight and holds me longer than he does other people and our hips touch and afterwards he’ll avoid eye contact and even sometimes his face looks a little red.

But he also takes a long time to answer my messages over the phone.

I guess I’m just confused. Even after he declined me months ago I’ve continued to have feelings for him (dumb I know)

It’s just his actions confuse me and make it hard for me to move on

Advice?
