Is this guy interested in me romantically?

Question

I met this guy in my Maths class...he's also in my discussion section, and I think he's really cute. Basically, I've been doing the homework with him, and we always have a lot of fun. We tease each other and laugh a lot and talk about work but also about things in our personal lives. When we text, we also talk about random things about ourselves, and music tastes and stuff. But I'm getting mixed messages - on one hand, I'm the one who initiates the hugs goodbye, and the texts - though he seems happy to cooperate. On the other hand, once I saw him looking around in a lecture hall of 400 people, and I went up to him and asked "Were you looking for me?" and he said "Yes, I was". Which is adorable, in my personal opinion.

So we've had good conversations, and even though he has another friend in the class who lives closer to his dorm, he looked for me during lecture and he does the homework with me (I live on the opposite side of campus) rather than his friend, who lives in his building.

But I initiate the texting and contact,

So it seems like he likes me, in my opinion, but I really, really want to either
a) be sure he likes me so I can ask him out
b) make it clear that I want him to ask me out without appearing desperate.

Help, please, and thank you so much in advance!

P.S. we've known each other for like two weeks.

If you have to ask him out, then he's just not that into you.

Be careful here. When you put yourself out there like this a lot of guys see an opportunity to use the girl for sex. Be careful that he doesn't lead you on just to add you to the number of girls he's slept with. It happens ALL THE TIME. If he really liked you he would ask you out, and make an effort to contact you.

It sounds like he does, he just is too shy to initiate the conversation.
Some guys are like that.
Although if he likes you, he really should do the asking out. Guys have it way easier in life than girls (this is coming from a guy) and he really should do the hard stuff and not put all the stress on you.
This is just my opinion though. If ya really like him enough, ask him out, you won't lose anything if he says no.

I think he likes you, but don't ask him out. He should ask you out, and you sort of just met. Give it some time. If he's the one, he will wait. He sounds perfect!!

I would say he's not romantically interested in you, you're obviously a female friend but want to be more.
