Does he like me? Really confuzzled :/?

Question

Ok, i have this guy friend and i've known him for like 1 year and a half. He is a friendly person and has the most wonderful personality :] I became like really good friends with him like the first week since we started talking to each other. But i didn't fancy him at that time. I was actually trying to help him to ask a friend of mine who he liked.

Anways, recently, he has been hugging me A LOT. When i say a lot, i mean like whenever we see each other, whatever situation and we don't care who's around us...he just makes me forget about anything and everything around me. There are also a whole bunch of girls he's friends with but he doesn't hug them as often and as tightly as he does with me (he sometimes like hugs them with just one side or like normal hug but they're not close.) AND like when he drinking something and a girl comes up by him, he just hugs them with like the hand that's not holding the drink. But he hugs me normally, even if he has a drink in his hand.
He used to hug me often when we first started talking but it was one of those friendly ones where you don't actually get close you just like give each other a little bit of space. But now-a-days, he hugs me every time. And they're not just like friendly hugs (like 3 second, light hug type) but they're like more than 20 seconds+ and he hugs me tight too. He sometimes comes up from behind me and just rests on my shoulder (even though he's like 3 inches taller than me...and that's probably uncomfortable... I'm like 5ft 6/7 he's a bit taller but I still go on my tip-toes to hug him properly though) We also hang out all the time like at lunch times and break times..which really doesn't help things and he used to hug me when we first met but he liked someone else but he told me just recently that he doesn't like her any-more because he doesn't see him and her going out.

Sorry, if it's really long, but i was wondering if he likes me or if I'm just over-analysing this. He doesn't hug his other friends like he hugs me. He only side-hugs them all just a short normal hug. But when he hugs me, it's like a 20 second, tight hug and sometimes we just talk while hugging...just relaxing.
My friends say i like him but i deny because if i asked him out and he sad no...it'll be awkward between us and i don't want that because he is like a really close friend of mine.

The other day, my friend even said that he blushed when he hugged me in the hall (it was when we were about to have registration and he came out of his last lesson, and then i smiled at him, he smiled back and we hugged for like a long time...then my friend had to say that he BLUSHED!!!)
Oh, and that day he made a little sound like "hmm". WHAT DOES IT MEAN!??!

My other friend said that he follows me everywhere and always thinks of a reason for him to talk to me (like when I was playing ball with my girl friend...he was like with other people talking and stuff then he just came up to me and hugged me and we started talking and I kinda forgot I was playing something...) We hugged a lot after that and for a long time...all in like 10 minutes.

Pleeeeease help me. I think he likes me...no, I HOPE he likes me because i like him A LOT. I'm just afraid to make the first move 'cause he might reject me and it'll be awkward between us (i even hug him from behind and he doesnt care...he turns around to hug me back or just carries on talking to who-ever but leans on my arm or something like that) I think if he did care that i hugged him that way he would have said something (and because he has to like lean a bit back...'cause of the height difference, and that probably uncomfortable)

Oh, btw i was thinking of like hugging him on next time i see him then kissing him on his cheek (we've never kissed so i don't know how he'd react.) He usually doesn't mind me hugging him or saying 'i love you', he even says it back.
When i hug him, it's like i don't want to let go of him, and when i hug him for like longer than you're meant to- he doesn't say anything :|


I'm REEEALLY sorry that this is like an essay, but i really need your help!

Take the shot, Go for it before the opportunity disappears and you find your self regreting that you didn't take that chance.
He shows enough affection towards you and you like him back.
Say you ask him out, he rejects, saying he doesn't want to ruin the freindship or something. You go back to being friends and life goes on, your sad about it but you just go back to how it was like when you guys first met.
You don't ask him out. You'll never know the answer. You will regret this and it will break your heart if he doesn't ask you first and later on you see him with another girl. It will break you heart because you feel like that you are in love with him and his in love with you, so seeing him with another girl afterwards makes it heartbreaking to you.
Go for it my friend, and goodluck to the both of you and may you take joy in everything you do =)
