Confused about this guy?

Okay, so I met this guy about two months ago, through a mutual friend. At first, he’d just like smile and there wouldn’t be much conversation between us but slowly we’ve got to know each other more and more. Lately, I’ve noticed his actions towards me are changing, like he’s finding excuses to have physical contact with me. Like the other week I was really cold, so kinda joking (but serious) he asked did I want him to keep me warm. We both like laughed and he hugged me for ages until I was warm. Then last week, we were out and about (me him and two others, but the others left) and he started playfully nudging me and trying to make me laugh. Then he kept putting his arm around me, tickling me and squeezing my knee, but all the time it was like he was trying to keep the ‘touching’ so I wouldn’t suspect anything, like he was pretending that he wanted to start a friendly ‘play-fight’ (for lack of better words lol). Then, we just sat and talked for a while and when I wasn’t talking and I was just sort of looking into the distance, I could see him looking at me, but I tried not to aknowledge it. It’s then that I started to wonder whether he likes me in THAT way or not? Or whether he sees me as ‘just a good friend’. I don’t think he’s like that with every girl because some of his friends are mine too and, although he hugs them from time to time, he doesn’t really have that much physical contact with them. The other thing that confuses me is that he actually has a girlfriend! :/
Why would he be like this when he’s taken? Is it possible to have eyes for someone else when you’re in a relationship?
I’m 16 and I know I should really know the ’signs’ of a crush by now but I’ve messed things up in the past by either mis-reading signs or seeing the signs but being too ’scared’ to do anything about them. The thing is I do genuinely like everything about him and I like him as more than a friend but I need to know whether he does like me. Although nothing can happen while he’s in a relationship, it might in the future.

What do you think?
Really sorry for the long post btw! :P

It sounds to me like he has feelings for you but be careful. . . him having a girlfriend can lead to all kinds of trouble.

I know, I’d never ever go out with a guy who’s taken.
Thanks for answering =]

Sounds pretty clear. Sounds like he’s trying to secure a new girlfriend before he dumps the one he’s got.

Why not have a chat about people who do that and how you feel about it?

cliche yes but dont playy with fire i know its a bit blunt but im tired lols uh first find out if he likes you but then ask him why hes like this with you when hes with someone if he likes you and is not happy with his relationship with the other girl (im assuming its a girl) then hes going to fight to win you but be very very careful with this

sorry if its not helpful
