Yes, he wanted you. He wasn’t being coy, he wasn’t being “spontaneous,” and he wasn’t setting up some neutral friendly outing. A man does not plan a secret date, pick the time, tell you to be ready, and then glue himself to you every day after unless he’s staking his claim from day one. That wasn’t friendship. That was courtship with a cheaper label.
You’re overthinking this like it’s some puzzle. It’s not. He wanted you then, he wants you now, and the only reason it didn’t become official until a month later is that he was playing the slow-burn game, not because he was confused. Men don’t put in that level of effort for “just friends.”
