I think so because the samething happened to me and they guy liked me but was afraid to tell me how he fells.
If you still notice him looking or staring at you. Or if he still asks a friend of yours or him about you.
just say that i know you like me but, you cant act like that with other girls if we go out
by the way your crush acts and looks around your friend
Acts different around you
If he acts nervous or overly confident, he likes you.
it would probably mean yes but he is just too shy.and the friend part? well i think the friend likes you and the boy is just being a good friend.i still think it would be best to be friends with both for now and get to know them first then decide....
If he acts different around you then the way he did before
it could be the person was mislead or she just likes the person as a good friend
you could ask him, or see if he acts friendly around you.
what i do is get your friends to go ask him who he likes. if he likes you you call him or text him asking him out. you can also tell by the way he acts around you. if he smiles,talks,or do anything to get your attention still he likes you still.
If your boy best friend dose not like talking about your boy friend and gets jealous, or if you ask him for advise for making a move (for instance kissing him) and he tells you not to, that is an obvious sign he likes you.
see how he acts :)
