Golf Walls

i like this guy that I thought liked me too. I told him n it freaked him out for a while - now we're back in the groove of school n hanging out. we're close again but i'm getting mixed messages - somedays I feel like he likes me n the next day it's like we're just close buddies.
We tease each other n r ALWAYS together n txt for hours everynight. He's told me that he never makes the first move n never tells a girl when he likes her, but he'll drop hints. He says things and i don't know if he's kidding or not cause he's a jokester.
He told me that he broke up w/his GF, but he didn't tell our other friend, Y? he's not a player or anything, he's a really sweet, dorky, insecure kinda guy.

I've already told him once that i liked him and it freaked him out (he's really shy) so I don't want to bring it up again. How can I tell if he likes me?
