DOES HE LIKE ME...ITS A DIFFERENT GUY. PLEASE HELP, BECAUSE HE'S GOT ME SO CONFUSED!!!!

Ok, this guy is totally confusing. Last year, my friends asked him out for me. 5 minutes later, he asks out this girl. Anyways, theyre going out, but we both had gym together and he kept staring at me. We never talk. But he compliments me behind my back to my friends. He says, "She has a pretty face", "She has pretty eyes". So, a week later, he breaks up with the girl and tells my friend to ask me out. I thought my friend was lying so I said NO....and he gets back together with the girl
