1. watch for his facial reactions and look him in the eye when talking to him and if he starts blushing then you know the true answer i think he does
2. Your friend has probably liked you in a romantic sense for a long time and is just now getting up his courage to try and let you know. You are reading his body language and signals correctly. And yes, he is definitely flirting with you in a big way! Don't worry, though. This doesn't mean the end of a great friendship just because you don't feel the same way about him. In fact, unless he comes straight out and asks you if you care about him in that way, you can let him know non-verbally by continuing to remain stand-offish when he's wanting to get physically closer. In other words, if possible, it would be best to spare his feelings and keep the friendship intact. And, with a little finesse, you can manage to do just that. Just make sure he understands that there is no chance of your friendship growing into something more, so that he won't waste his time when he could be trying to woo a girl who really would like him romantically. In fact, another way to handle this situation would be to kind of "work behind the scenes" to hook him up with a girl who is really interested in him in that way. Depends on if you think it would be wise of you to get that involved in his personal life. Anyway, handled in the right way, your "problem" is very solvable. Your main goal should be to maintain the friendship while keeping him realistic and in check.
