Trying to decipher a guy's feelings? (I have no tact when it comes to the opposite sex)?

He won't make a move until you do, so all of this stuff he's doing is his way of letting you know that he's interested but he doesn't have the courage to take the next step.

So if you like this guy enough then you'll have to tell him to ask you out or take the next step because if you don't then he'll keep playing around and nothing will ever happen.

Young guys have so many things going on in their heads and there is no shame in saying that it takes a girl's touch and courage for guys to be guys.

Why does it have to be this way? I have no clue, but this is the way it is and I don't make the rules, I just tell people how to get around them as easily as possible.
 
First of all, I would just like to establish that I am not one of those typical boy-crazed chicks, but have a serious question regarding relationships and some interactions I've had with a guy friend over the course of the past year.

I've never really had true feelings for anyone before, but this particular person is very special to me. I'm so afraid that if my feelings aren't reciprocal, I could ruin a valued friendship. Half of the battle is trying to determine what exactly the crazy **** he pulls around me means. I've composed a list of all the things I think could be a 'sign':

-He would always sit beside me, even if his other friends were around
-He always acknowledged my presence in the halls, and went through a great deal of trouble to make sure I noticed him
-Asked me at one point if I had a boyfriend in a casual, nonchalant manner
-Constantly teased me
-Always found an excuse to touch me, once tried to hold my hand (jokingly)
-took my things, was always finding new ways to annoy or agitate me
-always smiled when I looked at him, like he couldn't help it or something
-would jokingly tell his friends I was 'mean'
-always asked where I was going to be, talked about how he hoped we could meet somewhere over the summer
-His friends always gave me knowing looks and sort of chuckled whenever they passed me

So, the moment of truth. Do you think this kid was just being friendly, or that he wanted more than friendship?

P.S.

Thanks for taking the time to read this load of ****.
