Does he have a crush on me?

There's this boy at school that i have a crush on.... i think he likes me back. He always talks to me, he told me that we should both learn italian so we could have our own lingo, he always texts me, when there is something wrong with my life he is the first to try to fix it. He denies that he likes me but does it seem like he does.We also talk all the time. BTW we are currently friends and one time he said we were more then friends but when i told my other friends he denied it.
