I think he may be interested but I'm terrible at judging my own love life.
Hello, 18, f, freshman in college. I just got back from hanging out with my friend, we'll call her Abby, tonight on campus. Abby is friends with a lot of people so it's always a good time when we're all together. There's this guy, we'll call him Billy, that is a friend of Abby's friend, he'll be Chris. I've seen Billy around before and I've talked to him once when he was playing his guitar. Tonight was different, there was a group of 7 or 8 of us and we were all just sitting around hanging out. I arrived late because I was at a study session. I came and sat down next to Abby and about 10 minutes after I was there, Billy says "so.. who are you?" I introduced myself and Abby told me everyone's names after Billy introduced himself. A few people had left about an hour into us all hanging out so Abby and I went into her dorm so that she could charge her phone, we had walked back out to everyone about ten minutes later and there was only three people left. I took my old spot on the ground and Billy says "hey, the ground is cold.. do you maybe wanna sit up here? I don't think I smell that bad." So I went up and sat next to him on the bench. Abby, however, wanted to stand. However, I did not like that she was standing because I had to look up to talk to her and she joked that I didn't like being the shorter one for once, so Billy and Chris had told us to stand back to back to see who was taller. I had a bun in my hair so Billy said that was throwing him off and we were all joking and that conversation ended in my new nickname being bun for Billy. After a few more minutes, it was getting to be pretty chilly so I said to Abby "dang, it's chilly, I need a sweatshirt," I look over at Billy and he was holding out a sweatshirt to me, he said his friend was wearing it and he just didn't get to take it up to his dorm yet so he let me wear it. I put it on and a few minutes later, we all decided to relocate to a darker area so we could watch the stars. On the way there, I was walking with the girls and the guys were walking behind us and I just heard Chris say "that's a nice sweatshirt, where'd you get it?!" They all laughed and then Billy said "I let her borrow it, man, she was cold." So, we went to a darker area and then when we had decided enough was enough there, we went and got food on campus. Billy got a call from a friend asking if him and Chris want to go over to his house to hang out. So, before they left Billy told us it's been real and as they were leaving Billy was walking away, then I saw him come back, he didn't say anything and kinda just stood there so I took off his sweatshirt and gave it back to him. That was obviously what he wanted because after that, he left.
I guess my question is, do you think Billy is interested? I think he might be but there are reasons for me to believe otherwise, such as
a) everybody in that group of friends has nicknames for each other
b) he asked for his sweatshirt back, he knows Abby and I are close and we will see each other again so it isn't like he doubted that he'd never see his sweatshirt again
c) his sweatshirt was just there on the bench so I feel like he maybe offered it to me just to be nice and not due to his interest in me
Please, your honest opinion and why. I hate when people answer questions but don't say why, Thanks so much, I know this is long and so unorganized but I said everything I needed to. Thanks again!

From what you've written it seems like he's into you but just chickened out when the time came to ask you out. He won't have taken his friends sweatshirt if he didn't like you, and on top of that he asked you to sit next to him. If you don't want to take the huge risk of asking him out first then ask him to grab a cup of coffee with you. It's not a date yet and it'll give you a chance to get to know each other when you're alone and where things are between the two of you, if there even is something. If there is then he can ask you out, if not then it's only coffee.
