Hey theres this guy in my class, i told him i liked him, like more than a friend and he ssaid i know nothing about u.. did i look desperate?

Ok, I seriously need some help. I have liked this guy for over a year now and we've been hanging out a lot lately. My ex boyfriend came back in town and I asked him if he could help me and be my "bodyguard", and he was and since my ex didn't show up that day he asked if he could be my "bodyguard" the next day, and i said yes, with a little coyness ;) and then after that 2nd "date" we stopped hanging out a lot, and he started ignoring me a little, and i tried not to sound or act desperate, but i missed him and i texted him a lot somedays and not so much other days, and then we started hanging out again and it was awesome, and it kinda slipped out in not so many words that i liked him, and he told me he didn't want to break my heart. So we haven't talked as much, but i've been talking to a mutual friend of ours and he says he doesn't talk about me much, but that when he did the other day he called me "needy" and then he texted me later asking if i wanted to go to a show with him. Why would he call me needy and then "ask me out"? It makes absolutely no sense. Also, our mutual friend and I still think he's not completely over his ex girlfriend who happens to be a really good friend of mine, but she, however, is completely over him and knows that i like him. So, i know this is long and i apologize for that, but i really need some advice because i do like him a lot, and i would like to know if he likes me. Please help :(

Also my friend went up to him and told him that I liked him but I ran away so at the time he didn't know it was me but now I'm sure he does

Hi first I'd like to say that I absolutley love your articles!! Also, there is this boy (Ty) that I feel I may have feelings for so we met at the beginning of last semester in a class instantly we started a teasing relationship , he is always messing with me , taking my stuff and messing with me. He played football and being that we were friends I'd go to the games with a mutual close friend of both of us eventually I met his family and they all love me and I feel as though he might like me but I am utterly confused. Our relationship had always been flirty but then he got a girlfriend so I layed off and figured I should move on, eventually he broke up with her but I had gained a boyfriend by then. Then things were different he was constantly near me and talking to me and he would always ask if I was still with so-and-so and he wanted to be in the know of things, one day we had a really deep conversation of why he liked the girls he liked , he opened up to me and told me he honestly didnt he think he deserved anything better to be quite frank the girls he dated were sluts. He told me that he liked me but he felt like I was too good for him ( but Im not) at the time I was with my then boyfriend so there wasnt anything I could really say. We eventually broke up mainly because I was interested in Ty not him but nothing happened with us. I think he might still like me he invited me to a party which was a lot of fun and we had an awesome time he's always looking at me and I'll say," what are you looking at and hed say you, its just you and hed smile. Also he always grabs my hand and will hold it for what seems like ever and somehow he got my number and is always texting me but he is very confusing because sometimes we will go days without talking. How should I approach him about us ?? Sorry this is rather long.
