Dude problem.. I never get responses when i post on here so someone please read?

I met this guy nic and we started talking a whole bunch a couple months ago.i thought he liked me because he woudl say I love my icon which was a guy who said wanna make out and subtle things like that. I told my best friend huberth ((who i didnt know at the time is nics best friensd)) that I liked him and huberth being himself would tease me about it and stuff and i wouldt mind because thats just the way he is.. huberth told Nic that i like him because he thought he liked me too but Nic said he didnt like me anymore than a friend and that people had been asking him that a lot. So he thought that i liked him was just a rumor. I got over(or so i thought) when me and him stoped talking in june but me and him started talkign again and i find myself thinking abut hoimm a lothes NOt the kind of person i would ever like because he like smokes weed and drinks and stuff but dont get me wronge hes NOT a jerk he is really nicebut i just dont understand how i could like somene like that so much?
