Are we just friends or more?
This guy is an Aquarius he is one of my best friends we were texting everyday for like a few weeks when we were texting he randomly stopped. We were texting in a group chat so it wasn't like we weren't "communicating" then about 5 days later I got this text from him "How was your trip?" and we talk for a little bit. He wouldn't have cared about me if he hadn't asked right?
We also have this goofy thing on Duolingo where he has requested to do "friend streaks" Is he just being nice? He will randomly ask me questions about what to wear or if he texted the right thing. He comes to me when there's a drama in the friend group.
He also told me I reminded him of the color yellow I don't know what that means? He gave me a nickname of "Dahila"? What does that mean?
When I see him in the mornings before school he says good morning and we talk he also tells me to have a great day, but today it was awkward he was with his friend who was following him and he said "why are you following me?" and usually we have so much to talk about but for some reason I was shy (which never happens) and he was laughing and talking about random things to break the silence and when my mom picked me up he waved at me until we pulled out of the parking lot.
I don't know where we stand and it's really CONFUSING... I need advice please
(We have known each other for around two years he said he'd seen me before but had never talked to me. He also said I should have joined his moms group when we were planning for a summer camp his mom is a leader for)

It sounds like you two have a great friendship, but if you want to figure out if he sees you as more than a friend, there are signs you can look for. He might have romantic feelings for you if he goes out of his way to spend time with you one-on-one, makes it a point to talk to you every day, smiles at you a lot, gives you compliments, or flirts with you.
Telling you that you remind him of something and giving you a nickname could indicate that he's interested in a deeper relationship. Yellow is usually considered a bright and happy color, so he may see you as a joyful and fun part of his life. Dahlias are flowers, so he may be trying to say that you're pretty or unique like a dahlia.
If you really aren't sure about how he feels, talk to him about it. Explain what you've noticed and that you're confused about whether he sees you as just a friend or more. If you're interested in him as well, put yourself out there and let him know—it could give him the confidence to open up as well. Just keep in mind how the friendship could change if you start having more romantic feelings for each other.

There are a few subtle signs you can look out for to figure out if he likes you back. For example, does he choose to be around you when he can be around other people? Let's say you're at a party. If you walk away, does he make a point to come find you and be next to you? Does he try to spend time alone with you? In terms of body language, does he sit with his knees pointed toward you? Does he seem happy when you come over to talk to him? If you answered yes to most of these questions, there’s a good chance he’s got feelings for you.
