Does he like me???

dream

Right so I’m in high school (British) and I’ve got a lot of male friends. I’ve always been like this but only one of them so far (there’s about 10) has liked me and we dated but there was always this one boy that I’ve always liked. Last year I asked him out once but he said no.

As I went into my next school year we remained good friends talking at lunch but not really texting and we don’t have any studies together. Until I find out that as a part of an extra curricular we are doing a writing project together for a week. I really enjoyed it and so did he. He kept calling me mols ( my name is molly so it’s a shorter version) and kept laughing at all my jokes. He also started to text me but it’s only basic like “hey how are you” and “what you doing”.

I just wondering if he think he likes me or if I still like him and I just want him to like me. What do you guys think.

Thank you and sorry it’s so long. 😁
