He confuses me badly!?

So me and this guy I like are pretty close and me and him never got to date because i was currently in a relationship, but now im not and neither is he and me and him have spent several times "snuggling" on my front porch four hours late at night. So one day my friend decided to adrupt our really close sitting conversation and say WHEN ARE YOU TWO GOING TO DATE! and then he said were not going to. But i want to knwo why he has been "snuggling" with me for the past couple of days since i got back from a trip. help?
