If this is the case, he might act like that a lot with other girls. Next time you're around him, try to pay attention to that. Does he flirt with lots of other girls? If he does, then you have two options. You can A) Just be the cattiest, most flirtatious queen of them all, or B) You can back off and even move on to new territory (I'm not saying permanently though). Once he doesn't have you around he may realize what he's missing. And if he doesn't he was never worth it anyway.
Ok that was the sentimental way to handle this like a mature person. But you want to know how I would handle it? Here's what you do. Go for one of his buddies. Jealously can be a monster and if you're always flirting with his friend, he may become more interested in you. I know that sounds horrible but unfortunately it is a prime example of how the male mind works.

Get it straight from the source! Talk to the guy and give him some indication of your feelings. Fortunately, we now live in a world where the females don't have to just sit around and wait to be asked out; they can do the asking.
Perhaps the best thing to say would be, "My friend Beth told me that you like me only as a friend. I'd kind of like to look into becoming more than that, just so you know. I'd like for you to give me a chance... what do you say we go out sometime, on a date, and see what happens?"
Very few guys would turn down an offer like the above, and even if it turns out that the chemistry isn't there after all, at least you'll know and THEN you'll be able to move on. Otherwise, you'll always be thinking, "What if?"

If you really like him, you could ask him what he likes in a girl, and if you dont want to do that, just try to become good friends with him. He will become comfortable with you, and you with him. All that I can say is find out what he likes, and BE THAT GIRL! Lol. Hope I helped!
