What’s Going On???!!!!! (SOS)

So I sit next to this guy (A) in my science class. No one really likes him and he got in trouble for doing something online (along the lines of calling other girls in our grade wh*res....). I should preface this by saying that I usually don’t listen to other people’s opinions when it comes to people (like for real, I have a track record with this) so I tried to go into my classes open minded with him. During class on Friday, A and I were doing some lab work (science class; assigned lab partners) together and we kept joking around and maybe we were flirting (if I was it was unintentional, but when I described the situation to my friends they were like you were flirting fam), he got in really close with me and when we were finished with our work he started trying to spell words with the periodic table, like I said we were joking and flirting, he started running his knee along my thigh and he grabbed my hand and inspected it, claiming that my fingernails were really long and that my hands were dry (a little weird if u ask me). He really wasn’t trying to be weird although the situation was awkward, and it wasn’t creepy or anything like that either. So anyways, that was the main part of it, but there’s more. A few days prior I tried to get him to join this club I’m a part of and he was teasing me for a while and then eventually said that he would. On Friday after class I asked our quad if anyone wanted to go biking at some point and he was literally the only one that said that he would be interested. And I don’t know if I am excited he said yes or not. I really don’t want to like him! Like i really don’t want to like him but I think I might. It’s not like I was preventing him from touching my leg or taking my hand or not flirting back, I was letting it all happen. I’m kind of in denial and i am a mess. I also don’t think I’m completely over my last crush (V) where something almost happened... but even with V all of my friends said that he was bad, just not as bad as A. So yeah, I guess I kind of want to know if he likes me or not even though it probably wouldn’t change anything, but I’m horrible at reading signs so if any of y’all could help that would be much appreciated. Also, if any of you know what I should do about my feeling can someone let me know as well? Thank you so much and if you actually got to the bottom of this then bless your hearts and I hope all of your struggles melt away soon! Thanks again!
