Need your guys help

So me and my friend been getting very close been spending a lot of time together. The vibe and everything is beautiful but we both haven’t told each other how we like each other or anything. But how would you take this so I told him I was on my period so I doubt if he would want me over just testing him to see if maybe it’s not just about the sex . And he replied back that he doesn’t mind at all he likes hanging with me in general. So would you take that as he likes me or no? It’s just certain things he does makes me think he does . He always wants me over I damn near live with him lol . We talk everyday so I’m just like why we both haven’t said anything about like each other lol . I don’t know I’m tired holding it in I have to let him know and see where it goes . What y’all think?
