need ur advices brothers

okay, so there's this cute gay guy (Noa) that my friend showed me on Instagram. we followed each other, he liked my stories but replied very little and especially SLOWLY (and sometimes he would left me on read)

this weekend we were in his city, I told him I wanted to meet up (he left me on read, again), so I thought it was over... then it turns out we had to go to his place anyway to pick something up for my friend.

we saw each other two days, and idk what to think. he was really playful with me (we threw things at each other, he splashed me when I went to the kitchen, not to mention the spicy "jokes" and i even got a goodbye wink), AND he even agreed to meet up again (in my city this time) !!!

but at the same time, he's never available to message, and besides, he didn't spend that much time with us when we were at his place... it's weird because HE KNOWS im into him (my friend told him months ago) so if he wasn't interested, he clearly wouldn't have acted like that and wouldn't have agreed to see me again, right?

when I got back from the trip, i was talking to Noa's roommate on insta and asked him his opinion, but my friend told me that was a 'pushy' move (he could told noa yk) and i might ruin my chances... it's the first time I've been around someone with whom it was possible (either they were straight or not interested), and damn, i hate dating.
