Is it me? Or is this confusing?

Ok, so I hang out with one of my best guy friends ALL the time. He has a girlfriend, but things arn't working out for them so he is telling me that he's thinking of breaking up with her because they never talk, there nothing alike, and she's always ith different guys. I'm 14 and he's 15. We like the same things and we always mess around like ALL THE TIME and it's so much fun. he is like always touching (in a messing around way) and I do it back. like he tackles me to the ground and then like almost gives me a hug but pulls away/ He plays with my hair and last night him and his buddy came over at like midnight and i snuck out and we layed and watched the stars, btw his buddy is also one of my best friends. and the entire time he was whispering to me and laughing and like playing with my hair and stuff, also he was trying to pull me closer to him so i would lay with him. and also last night we were laying on a trampoline at a party and he would like gently touch my leg or he would like almost hold my hand but then he wouldnt because i think he knows that he doesnt want to be a two timer. he always tells me that i'm really hot and that i look like a model. i always go to the restraunt he works at when im out on the water, so i tell him before i go that i will be there and he will ask what he gets in return for serving me my lunch. i know he wants to to say a kiss but i dont think he wants to like go too far and ruin somthing. then today he texted me, "i love you meghan as a verry verrrry verrrry close friend." does that mean somthing? but after that he told me i should go out with his friend. and that him and me would look cute together. and he says it a lot so im not sure if he means it or not. and i know his friend likes me for a fact but i dont like him the same way. i like this guy kind of but i dont want to fal for him if it isnt true that he like me back so i really dont get it. does he like me or what? it gets frusterating.
