Does he like me?

okay so im good friends with his bestfriend and we talk whenever we see each other. like he calls my name really loud in the halls. and I go to his locker sometimes to talk. and lately he wasnt like talking to me any more but then we went on a class trip to a six flags and he said hey at first. then he came off this ride and sat next tome and we were talking and I forgot what it was about but I said youre nice youre my favorite and he was like thanks. and scince then.. scince im scared of like every ride he offered to sit next to me on every one and he always walked with me..and he defended my around his friends kindof when something happened.and on this one ride he said I could hug him if I got scared but I was nervous so I just scooted closer to him. and he was on this kiddie ride and he was pretending to be all scared and he was like I really need a hug!! but then his guy friend hugged him. and we were on this ride and he was like I like how you dont freakout like most girls. and at the end of the day..he asked for a hug really loud but like not to me directly but in general..and he was walking behind me so I think he wanted me to hug him but idk soi just kept walking ..so he hugged this other girl instead for like three seconds.sodoes he like me?

well a good question would be if he has a history of being a player. it seems like he does like you but then again if he hugged the girl for three seconds, maybe hes just flirting with a bunch of girls just to make you jealous, and hug you. ya never know. because a lot of guys are undecided. but I wish you good luck!
