Does he like me to??

theres this guy in my school but i dont have any cles with him but i see him during lunch all the time and i like him and were friends and like he always comes to me and hugs me and once i was standing next to him and he put his arm around my stomach like you know lol and every time we hug ppl keep coming up to us and ask if were dating and then he becomes silent and after a while he goes like "...nnnn..ooo LOL were..uhm jus friends xD riiiight" and i just start laughing and hes kinda immature but i still love him lol and hes funny but den my friends asked him if he likes me he said im awesome, great, and good looking but he wants to stay clean for a while from his past relationship with his ex since they didn't work out good so my friend asked how long will he stay clean for and he said a few months or a year and a year is to long for me so my friend told me that i cant wait a year and she said r u gunna ask her before valentines-day and he said maybe so
