Boy help please.! (: <3?

So there's this one guy I really like and he's the only thing I think about all day. But anyways, heres where you come in. I don't know if he likes me back and from what I'm about to tell you I want to know if you think he might like me. Okay. Well I'll start with things from the past. A couple months ago in like January or December, he would watch (stare at) me when I was walking to school from his bus. Once, when we were coming back from spanish cl, he started walking right next to me, and then kept getting closer and closer to me as we kept walking. At recess (in 7th grade, we go outside for "recess" for 5-10 min everyday) when he's with his friends, he doesn't stare at me as much as usual and I'm not sure if thats bcuz he doesn't want his friends to catch him staring or something. But when he's alone in the line to go in, he constantly keeps looking at me. He also looks for me when I walk down the hall everyday,unless he sees me before then. My friends tell me that he really likes me but I don't know if I believe them. They also think we're the perfect couple because we both kind of have sort of a lot in common. We're both pretty tall, have slight dimples, are shy, weird around friends, funny and nice. I know I could give more info but then this question would be pretty long. But anyways if you think he may like me please comment below. It would really help. Thanks(: <3
