Friendly vs more? Is he interested or does me feel bad for me?

told my guy friend (who I like) that a guy I asked out called me ugly and said “who would date you, your too ugly”

My guy friend said “ should I beat him up”
”don’t take what he said to heart” “don’t believe what he said is it true because you’re amazing and you’re beautiful and you have a lot to offer to someone”

He drove me home and when we got there he parked and turned off his car and we talked for like 30-40 minutes. We had this conversation while parked.

However he's an awful texter

he gives me a ride home almost everyday.

Quite often he asks me how my day was, or if I’m happy. If a say something like it’s was okay or lead on that I’m upset he asks why.

However. Another time I was upset he drove me home and we talked in his car for 30 minutes. After I texted him thanks for talking to me. He said “ no need to thank, that’s what friends are for love ya ( my name) once he said “I hope you know you can tell me anything. I’ll always be here for you. I’m really greatful we’re friends.

one time I asked him to teach me frisbee and we tossed a frisbee around just the two of us.

He told me once “you should smile more, I don’t see you smile enough”
and a few times he’s told me he’s worried about me because I don’t eat enough.

BUT...

he's super Friendly to everyone so I don't know what his deal is.
