Does he like me? toodddsss mixed signals...:(

ok so I have this HUGE crush on my guy friend ( maybe I love him already??). he is 11 months younger than me.. he's my best friends brother and his family is friends with my family... I've liked him for more than 2 years up to now... he knows I like...

him.. heck everyone related to us knows I like him.. I dont know because hes been givin me mixed signals ... for instance when I cried because I got pissed off ( we were in a amusement place and it was a haunted house that we enterd.. we were talkin BEFORE we entered that he would never let go of me, he wouldnt leave me behind, AND HE WOULD MAKE SURE IM NOT AT THE BACK OF THE GROUP, but nooo... he left me.. I know its an accident but still.. it was pretty scary) so I cried and he was trying to comfort me but I was too annoyed to even talk to him and his sister talked to me about how guilty her brother looked so yeah.. after that.. he hugged me and made sure that the nest haunted place we entered,,, he would make sure he was there for me... so yeah anyways.. we decided to go to this maze.. scary as well.. he held onto me...but I didnt hold on to him that tight because I know for sure that some of my friends would tease us so just in case soomeone did, he could let go easily.. okay.. so one of my friends did actually tease us but he didnt let go ( I WAS EXPECTING HIM TO)... so yeah.. I let go of him a few steps before the maze ends right?? so we were walking to the other place we all decided to go to after that and maybe after a few minutes he held my hand again (much to my surprise but I didnt show him).. and then he let go again after he realized that he lost his bag ( NYAYAHAHA).. so yeah .. anyways... thats just one of the many things he did,,, so another one is he would always let me lean on his shoulder to sleep on the way to school...

there was this one time where he was sitting beside me,.. he was doing his how.. he looked at me.. and he sat up maybe he was thinking of letting me lean on his shoulder.. but I didnt.. because he was doing his how and I didnt want to bother him.. and then he looked at me again after a few minytes... it was weird because that was the first time he did that to me...

whenever we talk, he would always look at me in the eye.. ( I dont want to look at his yes because I always end up blushing)...

I gave him a gift and he actually liked it.. he wore it that day and in school too...

I asked him what I am to him and he told me that I was just a close friend and that he thinks thta we would only end up fighting and that hes not right for me.. that he needs to make himslef better...( I got hurt and I cried.. I think he felt that so yea) the next day.. because it was too awkward .. I told him to just forget whatever it is I asked him because I want everything to go back to normal..

we were talking on the phone about his fave. foods and color...( I like asking random questions) and he told me he doesnt like ( I forgot what it was) I overheard his sister telling him that he would always eat a lot of those and I got what he meant.. he was talking bout the opposite.. so yea.. so I started teasing him about his crush...told him that since he doesnt like this girl then maybe I should invite her to this party.. and he was like don't! you guys might fight in a joking way... ( HE KNOWS I LIKE HIM AS I MENTIONED FROM THE BEGINNING)..

I wa thinking of what gift to give him for his bday.. and I thought of giving him a personalized dog tag. BEFROE THAT...a friend and I were waiting for him at the mall because we would sometimes go hom together... my friiend askedme to phone him.. I asked him where he was and blah blah blah.. and I dont know just before we were both to hang up I dont know if it was just me or was it him but I heard a I love you when he got thre... my friend told him that we are just waiting for her necklace( my friend lost hers btw so she got a new one that day)... and he randomly told me...that maybe he should give me a necklace just like that on my bday...

I dont know.. help me out.. ?? PLEASE!!! my mind is going to explode sooonn

I really think you need to give him his space, he said he doesn't think you are right for each other so you really need to stop convincing him otherwise and respect his opinion.
