What should i do about it ... i really care about him... in more then one way.?

ok i really like this guy and he wants to be friends so i am ok with that .but his parents and mine and the paster at are church keeps bring up that we would make a great couple and he keeps getting mad.i told my friend that if i can't be his gf then i would be a friend but i am afraid that every one saying that we are always seen together is getting to him. i don't want to loss him as a friend and i don't want him to think i am saying it . and i always hope that he realizes that we would make a great couple but only if he wanted to ...well he knows i like him and the paster was joken about it but.idk see before his last gf he held my hand at a movie night at my home . and then dated her and now he wont stop staren at me at school i have not talked to him at school in days .but at church he is completely different and see i love his mom and dad to death.but he has been really pissy and i make him laugh about it and idk he confuses me . i think he thinks i am from another planet...
