I'm in Love with my best friend but does he feel the same way?

He is so like my type .but i dont know if he fells the same way about me. I dont want to tell him that i like him because it might mess up our friendship. When we talk he sends me all of these mixed messages. like every time cl startes he sets in the empyt desk behind and when i would turn around he would try to tough my face, pop my bra strap, or tickle me . and durning cl he would go to his set and when we started taking notes or something he would turn around and just stare at me or wink playfully. He always walks with me to lunch and would make sure that we were the last ones in the halls. when we talk he would grabe my hands or if we were walking he would put his arms around my shoulder. and he would give me these tigh hugs pressing my whole body aginst his for a long time for no reason in cl . and about a week befor school ended he keep on asking me do i love him i would say yes and give him a hug and saying to me "i love you " but i dont know if he was playing or not.
