Does he like me? I hope he does...? :)?

Okay, I just finished my freshman year at high school, and the first day of school that year, I immediately started crushing on this guy- like MAJOR-ly. I'm one of those girls that will like a guy until I don't see him anymore- yeah I know, it's weird. I haven't stopped liking him... and I think he MAY like me.... Lol the first day of school, our Advisement Professor asked us what our goals were for that year, and he said (outloud) "My goal is to get with that blonde girl in the front row" and I looked around and I was the only blonde in the front row... After that for a LONG time I would catch him looking at me, like, almost constantly. My friend would put a check mark on my paper every time he looked at me, and at the end of class, I would have at least twenty checks on my paper... Then he started kneeling down by my desk and would try talking to me... but he's super shy, so he would speak reeeaally quietly, and would smile a lot. He must've done that like- five times. Then a month ago, he came and sat by me in class, when there were three other seats next to wayyy prettier girls open. He was really sweet and talked to me the entire period, again in a really shy and quiet way :) We're also really sarcastic in sort of a cute way around eachother. Does this mean he likes me? He's really religious, but I think he MIGHT... I sure hope so lol. What do you guys think? Any answers accepted :)?
