I can't tell if he likes me or not!!!!! Options

[REALLY_confused]

ok, i can't tell if this guy likes me or not and i was wondering if you could help me out...
ok, his name is zack, all of my friends think that he's ugly, fat, and a poser.... which i think is totally untrue .... but what ever..... anyway, lately i have noticed zack looking at me. In the halls, in history, in e-tech. all the time. but i don't know if he's actually looking at me.... there's alot of drugs and dealers at my school and zack fits the type of person who would be able to get drugs (since like 2 of his friends are either dealers or takeing it, IDK)... so it could be that he's on a high and is doing what people do when they're high.... but yeah, i think he may like me, but i'm to afraid to ask because the last person i liked found out from my friend that i liked him and he said that he hated me... i can't ask my friends to help me for that exact reason, they may tell or make fun of me by saying that guys wouldn't like me, that i'm not that type of person guys would like (i haven't told them about the guys who stalk me at the mall and those who have sex fantasies about me... ) and make fun of the fact that i think zach my like me...... i just need your guys's help.....
Thanks!!!!

How to tell if a guy likes you
He stares at you a lot
He hits you a lot (Just play hitting)
He uses the first thing that pops into his head to start a conversation with you.
His voice gets softer when ever you two talk.
You hung up on him. He called you back
You were invited by him to a group outing.
He called you to talk about nothing at all.
He rememders little things you mention in casual conversations.
He sometimes stares straight into your eyes.

if you really want to know the 100% truth then ask him
