Advice pls

Ju

So I have this old best friend (we are still very good friends) and he and I recently reconnected over Instagram. He moved far away when we were 6 and I lost contact with him for ages (I am 14 he is 13, 14 in two months). We connected a few months ago and it feels like no time has passed. We each know each other’s secrets and he is always asking me for advice on this girl he likes. And he is like: “ should I ask her out?” And well of course I give him my best advice but he is always like I will wait a bit, get to know her better. And they have been in the same schools since he moved.

He keeps on dropping stuff like on we could do this together. I really want to see you again. And he is really sweet. I’m not sure if he likes me, I just wanna stay friends. Help!
