I've been hanging out with a friend of mine who I met in class. Ever since meeting him I've been met with a ton of flirting and compliments - so much that friends of mine assume he likes me. I ignore it, deny it, but once it's been suggested it sticks in the back of my head.

Now, honestly, I do not have any type of romantic feelings for this guy, and naturally I obsess and over think a lot about people so I cannot just "let it go". Undeniably I find him attractive but there are certain aspects about my life and his personality that make all possibility quite.. Well not impossible but it's just not something I'm working for at the moment.

Anyways there is consistent flirting, a need to irritate me, and the touch barrier was broken a hundred years ago and now when we hang out it's like 5 minutes cannot go buy without his hand on my arm. He messages me/calls me almost everyday wondering when we're gonna hang out next, he asks me constantly if I like what he's wearing or what he wants to buy or if he looks okay, and he's always making jokes and making me laugh. Repeatedly he's said "Ily ___ (my name)" and before has asked me if I "liked him" though refused to be specific on what terms he meant.

He also has a girlfriend. Or.. I don't know. I seen a girl on his phone and asked him who it was. He said it was his girlfriend then quickly denied it and kept strong to this "fact" that there was no girlfriend. A few days ago, he mentioned a girlfriend again. (what?) I have no idea what's a joke and what's truth.. though I have a feeling that is not a joke.. Though I haven't the slightest idea why the girlfriend needed to be hid at that particular moment, or even if there isn't one, why would it needed to be lied about?

I honestly have no idea what to do! Should I just stay away or at least draw a line and have a "either be honest or knock it off" type attitude? He's a nice guy but at the end of the day it's very confusing.. I don't wanna get all serious on jokes and end up looking like a fool but..
