Hi Alice,

Your situation sounds like something I’ve experienced before. When guys are flirty like that and love spending time with you/ being around you, I think it usually means something. The fact that everyone around you also thinks you two are “in love” might also be indicative of mutual feelings. It’s interesting how obvious something can seem to others, yet so confusing to us. This exact situation happened to me before and the guy told me he liked me shortly after. You could keep spending time with him and getting to know him better, and see where it goes. If he has feelings for you, he will probably tell you soon- if he is a confident person. You could also tell him yourself and save some time haha. Up to you- good luck!
