Is this guy being nice or shy? GUYS ANSWER?

one night, my crush and I got kinda drunk and flirted. hes never had a gf/kissed a girl. he kept tryin 2 subtlely touch me. our friends encouraged us bc they knew I liked him and when i said he doesnt like me they all said i think he does. that night when I randomly left my crush left me 2 voicemails, 1 saying "hope u got back 2 your room OK, ill IM you tomorrow" he did IM me right away the next morning, and he asked me ?'s. hes never done that b4. Unfortantely, the ppl there that night meddled in the situation, pestering him about me afterwards and called him oblivious. my friend who is close with him (and is NOT lying) said "he said he doesnt have feelings 4 you, the pestering didnt help a huge amount."He said he was sorry for meddling too, n when I said "it wouldnt have made a difference if u didnt" he said "maybe". My crush didn’t tell his friends he about the messages and my friends response to this was “hes stupid trust me, didn’t mean anything by it.” He has been told Ive liked
