Hello dear.
I will base my thoughts directly on what you wrote, your exact words, so if you chose some wrong words to explain which misled me, then feel free to write my inbox and reword it.

Facts first, He said he likes you!
Fact #2 You are doubting what he said.
Fact#3 Savanna is your best friend
Fact#4 Savanna does not like him in return
(I assume she has told you so. If she hasn't then this is not a fact)
Fact#5 You feel awkward around him.

What is NOT true: That he likes a girl named Savanna more than you. This is the point that needs clarification. You did not write that He said to you that he likes Savanna more than any other girl. If you are basing this statement on something you've heard others say, it's not 100% trustworthy...you can only really trust what he has to say. Others may be just guessing based on what they think they see.

Since Savanna is not interested in him, you would not be hurting your friend in any way by going after him. He may truly like both of you but if Savanna is less shy and more outgoing than you, it is naturally easier for him to see and get to know some things about her.
You are at the conversation stage with him as far as the stages of relationships go. If two people are attracted enough by talking enough with each other to want to learn more, then you both move into dating. If not, it ends there and you both move on to other people.
So how to get past being nervous, shy, feeling awkward around him...its natural cus you feel attracted. As a male acquaintence, you might want to approach him by telling him part of the truth, not about how much you like him but: "Hey Brian, I am wondering if you'd be willing to do me a favor. I feel real shy inside and want to overcome that and learn how to talk to guys. Would you be willing to help me? I need to get comfortable with having just normal conversation with a guy." If he likes you, he will be willing to do so, and under this guise, it will be a bit easier to get used to talking to him. You won't have the pressure of feeling you have to confess anything right away about liking him. Take the opportunity to tell him things about yourself and ask him questions about him.
I know you can do it dear. There is nothing to give up on. It is not a hopeless situation unless you are unwilling to learn to overcome your shyness in speaking to guys. If you can't, you risk a possibility of never finding a great relationship.

So he says he likes you but he likes one of your best friends?
Well you can't make someone like you.
So why does he say he likes you? Does he feel bad? Does he like both of you?

Anyways, like I said, you can't make someone like you. You should probably become better friends with him and once you become closer to him, you'll see who he really likes and then go from there.

I hate wondering if a guy likes me or not (Believe me, I am going through this right now too, It does suck) and my first piece of advice is to become better friends with him! I don't know what grade you are in (It always helps to say that in your question) I'm guessing high school? I don't know. But no matter the age, It always helps to get closer to the guy or girl you like. Start talking to him a little more (If you both have facebooks sen dhim s afriend request) and just start getting to know him better. When you are comfortbale you could ask for his number (if he doesnt ask for yours first) it'll get both of you more comfortable with eachother. I hope this helped and I wish you the best of luck :)
