Is this boy flirting with me/ do you think he likes me?

I have had an on and off crush on a boy for the past few months now. Its been on and off because i just get confused with him. I like him because he is cute, smart, athletic, and nice. One problem is that i don't talk to him that much [it seems hard and it can get awkward] he always approaches me and try's to start a conversation. He tells me i don't talk much and i should. ';How come you only talk to me when I approach you?'; is exactly what he said... Today was really weird. He gave me this weird side hug, so i asked him did he want a full hug, and he said no): Later he said ';I wouldn't date you because you're to quiet'; in a joking way he said it. ... On other days he plays around with me sometimes. He takes my stuff (he gives it back), he lets me touch his hair, and he'll pretend to paint on me in art class (the brushes tickle! LOL)



So is he flirting?

Do you think he likes me at all?

Any answers are appreciated. :) %26lt;3Is this boy flirting with me/ do you think he likes me?
