Does this guy like me, or is he just being a flirt/player? *Yes typical teen crush prob.*?

Ok, theres this guy I like and im noot sure he like me bac, or is just flirting with me...ok he's always staring @ me, and i always catch him...it's an average of 5x per day. He alwatys waits unitl i p his homeroom door 2 leave, thn walks behind me. The first day I came to my new skool, he came up to me and askd me if I was single...Wenever we're in a group covo, he always directs his attention 2wards me, evn if thers othr pplz he culd ask. He made a mutual friend ask about me 1nce, and anothr time his friend randomly calld me his name.....we tlk ocasionally, but not tht much anymore. he 1nce also gave me a neck mage,.... His friends always ask if i like b-ball plyrs, and he's 1.....and at the school dance, he ddnt ask any othr girl 2 dance, xcept me. The problem is, he flirts with TONS of othr girls, and has the rep as the skool plyr, so im not completely sure he likes me...but he actually respects me, not lie the othr girls....so, does he like me?! Any answr cn help pleez..thnx
