"Like" is a pretty broad term.

He said something to suggest he communicated with you in a way he doesn't with others, which is prolonged texting when he says he otherwise doesnt like texting. That shows he has some kind of interest in you. What kind of interest that is I couldn't tell you. The only thing you can really do is make a legitimate move, or wait for him to while continuing to wonder if he likes you until he does make that real move. If your just texting and having casual chats there's nothing there yet but potential silent feelings. sometimes a guy isnt comfortable making the next move until hes sure he wont be rejected. I also knew a guy who is now my fiance lol.. we talked for months and he never tried to take it furthur, i finally did. I found out it was because he just happened to be in situations where the girl always got the ball rolling instead so he didnt really know how to.
