so basically my friend group hung out today and I noticed a sequence of events that I can't stop thinking about.

some context: mango doesn't share drinks with anyone, not even his guy friends.

here's what happened in order:

I made an offhand comment about hating soy milk. later when mango and my other friend were all at the fridge, mango specifically went and poured me a small cup of soy milk and gave it to me. I tried it and said eww and he said, "it's not that bad." I left some in the cup and he immediately reached for it. before he could take it I drank the rest because I didn't want him drinking my leftovers. he then said to me and my friend "see she actually drank the whole thing."

earlier there had been a conversation where the same friend said he shares drinks with his girl friends all the time and mango said, "it's not that deep", even though he never shares drinks with anyone.

then he took my empty cup to the sink. I was mid conversation with our other friend, his back was turned, nobody was watching. and he put his lips on my empty cup. I finished everything. he didn't pour anything inside the cup or washed it either. he was just drinking nothing from my cup alone at the sink.

Please give me advice or any input!!

I have a friend Mango who I've known since late February. We became friends because he kept choosing to sit with me in the library during our spare period and he even left his other friends to sit with me. I don't know if he likes me back so here are a few things he has done:

He noticed my bangs immediately and complimented them, remembers small things I've said (like a random white guy I called cute, he brings it up repeatedly and he's not white), and has told me things he's never told anyone else about his insecurities and depression. Before a major exam, he found me, hovered until I noticed, and then handed me his wallet, phone, and keys without hesitation. He defends me when our friend talks shit about me, sits close (I move away, not him), and leans in when we talk. When I said I can't imagine being committed, he looked at me and said "I feel bad for whoever wants to be your boyfriend." And when he said he wouldn't flex for me because I'd laugh and make him sad, he flexed anyway.

So my question is: what should I do?

I have a friend Mango who I've known since late February. We became friends because he kept choosing to sit with me in the library during our spare period and he even left his other friends to sit with me. At first, I wasn't that interested, but over time we got closer!

Okay, here's a list of all the things he's done and let me know if I'm just being delusional:

• Noticed immediately when I cut my bangs, commented on them multiple times (said they looked good, called my friends "haters" when they said I shouldn't get bangs)
• Asks "why are you so quiet" when I'm silent & says it feels weird when I'm not talking
• Looks at me for reactions when something funny or weird happens
• Remembers small things I've said (like a random white guy I pointed out on the street being cute, he brought it up the next day and has been bringing it up for the past week) Mango is not white btw!!
• Told me things he's never told anyone else (insecurities, depression, past love life, frustration with his coach calling him a bad person)
• Randomly came to find me before a major exam and hovered around me until I noticed. Then when I walked him to the testing room, he realized he couldn't take most of his stuff in, so he gave me all his stuff (water bottle, wallet, phone, keys) without hesitation
• Said he gets more work done with another guy because that guy is silent, but with me he never gets anything done (probably bc I'm always talking but to be fair he chooses to listen to me because most of my friends just tell me they want to work if I'm yapping.)
• Defended me when our friend Blueberry called me annoying/rude/judgmental then said, "don't say that" and threatened to tell me
• Accused Blueberry of trying to "start shit" between us and ruin our friendship
• Sits close to me (I put distance between us, not him)
• Leans in when talking to me
• Hovered his hand while spotting me at the gym (didn't actually touch me, but seemed hesitant)
• When I said I couldn't imagine being committed to someone long-term, he said, "I feel bad for whoever wants to be your boyfriend" He was looking at me when he said it. Then looked away when I turned.
• He said he wouldn't flex at the gym for me because "you'll laugh at me and that'll make me sad", but then he flexed anyway

Okay, this is a lot but please just give me advice on what I should do/how I should go about my friendship with him!

Okay, this is a lot but please just give me your honest opinion on whether he likes me or not, and how I should go about it!
