HELPP!

okay so there is this guy friend of mine- now here is a bit of a background:

me and him were like best friends in our freshman year but then he shifted to another country, yet we still used to call and play games whatever (we are still in our freshman year here) but then over a year we just drift apart and stop talking but it wasnt like a fight it was just 2 people that stopped talking naturally.

now we both are in highschool, this year june we started talking again and the first call we went on lasted for 5 hours which was basically him telling me how bad his life was going and me listening etc etc js us catching up but ofc things werent the same as before

we are really good and close friends but not best friends

now, he is back and town in has caught up with all his friends and stuff, i thought he wouldnt wanna meet up with me since we recently got close again. BUT he messages me saying "can we please meet this time" and i say "YESS"

so we are going to the mall, gonna go to the arcade and then have lunch together but only us two.

for me going out alone with a guy especially to an arcade and then lunch seems very romantic cause i have NEVER hung out with a guy alone. Since we have made this plan i havent been able to sleep properly since i feel so excited and somewhat attracted towards the thought of us spending time alone. and im not going to lie i did like him a bit when we were best friends and stuff.

now idk if he just thinks of me as a friend and just wants to meet or like he feels some other way too.

i might just be over analysing all this so please call me out!!

i know no one is gonna read this any way but just had to get this off my chest!

PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT U THINK OF THIS WHOLE SITUATION AND YOUR PREDICTIONS ON HOW HE MUST FEEL
