I need help. I really like this boy in our group & I feel he likes me too. The way he looks & speaks to me.?

He used to try his best to talk to me, dance wih me in the group. But now after I started chatting with him, smsg him & calling him up. He has started avoiding me & acts as though I just an ordinary person to him. I mentioned too once that i like him & he said that he does not want to get into a relationship soon atleast till one year & he suggessted me the same. But I like him a lot. what do I do? Please suggesst.
