Where I stand with him

So for the past month and a half I’ve been talking to this guy every night without fail. But we have always said from the start of us talking and our friends started thinking something was happening and that we are just friends

But for the first few weeks we was just friends and it was just chit chat and someone who i spoke to about things that I didn’t really speak about with anyone else and after that I didn’t know where we stood. I’ve put up a few insta pics of myself in the month and half we’ve been talking and he’s commented on every single one of them. Most of the time it’s something along the lines of ‘well what a v gl pic’ and if he doesn’t comment on the pic something like that then it will just be an emoji and then he will message me afterwards saying something like ‘btw you look really pretty in the insta photo’. But now I’m confused as when we message he will throw a few things in there every so often that’s flirty. It might be something like ‘well considering I’m talking to a pretty girl and not nervous at all it’s shocking’ or ‘I’d be lucky to have someone who is like you, you have everything’. And honestly I don’t think i have any sort of feelings in a relationship kinda way. Obviously I like him as a friend because I tell him everything and talk to him all the time, i just don’t want him to get the wrong Idea. Plus because hes my #1 best friend on snapchat I can see who’s #1 best friend he is too. And there’s at least 5 other girls and ones his ex. Is he just messing with my head to try and get something out of it. Or is he just a really flirty person?

I’ve not really spoken to him in person in the past few months and he hasn’t directly asked for nudes but he also knows I’d never send them to anyone so it’s confusing me
