It is normal for a shooter to like ambiguity or to say that he is ambiguous but doesn't know it, and he doesn't know that you like boys.

It is possible that he likes you, but it is also possible that he doesn't like you and just regards you as his closest friend.

Ask him for character. Besides, do you like him? If you like him, your own subjective feelings will affect your own judgment. You can try to test him. Of course, it can't be too obvious. It doesn't matter if he is not careful, but the worst result is that he has a knot in his heart and gradually alienates you. Well, you have to grasp this yourself.
