Who there is this guy I like but he's giving me mixed feelings?

He like your such a great friend and he’ll hug other girls but he never gives me one but if we high five he’ll lock his fingers into mine and just hold my hand for a couple of min hut this stoped after a guy said look at the happy couple ( the guy was one of his friends) and once a griped over a wire and feel and he ran over to help me up and he always draws stuff in my notebooks and locker we have a since coming up and I want to know if I should ask him to dance or just ask him out and if I ask him out how LNG should I wait to kiss him??? Help please only honest advice and his friends think I’m crazy I go to a small private school with only 34 kids in my grade so there’s not much to pick from and a lot of guys like me and have asked me out and I have been told that I am the most pretty girl in the grade does it have an effect if I said no to the other guys??? Thanks if you answer
