We are both in Highschool and in the same grade. There's this boy, 'A'. I've been very good friends with him for a year. We talk everyday and he often stays up late to talk to me even when his bedtime is 11pm.
So this is why I think he likes me:

• He notices my reactions instantly and remembers small details about me (sometimes he forgets but yeah)
• If we have a fight, he usually apologizes first.
• He said our connection “matters to him a lot” ?
• He’s very gentle/patient with me during arguments instead of rude or egoistic (very crazy for a teenager boy)
• He smiles around me but he also smiles at everyone so it's not that crazy.
• He keeps diy gifts from me to him safe and carries them with him if he can.
• Crocheted me a flower keychain.

But he has never gotten jealous or even been bothered if I mention any guy around him. And when I asked him if he liked anyone, he said "nah"
So I wonder if I'm thinking too much about this and he's just friendly or he actually likes me?
