So I was texting him, becuase we are kind of good friends and he asked me if I liked him. I said I don't know. Why do you ask? "Bob" said that everyone is saying that I liked him. I'm not sure if people are trying to set us up together or if he really likes me. I do kinda like him and if he admits he likes me, I would ask him out. But I can't get him to say anything but we mess around alot. What do i do, I'm kinda scared of asking "Bob" out cause it might ruin our friendship?

Welcome to the world of dating friends. The truth is that you can't know if he likes you or not, or if the two of you would work if you dated. You can choose to tell him you like him, or choose to wait and see what happens.
I fell in love with my best friend. I met her when she was 4 and I was 7. I was her best friend by the time I was 11, in love with her by 12, and hopelessly obsessed with her when I was 14. I waited until I was 18 to do anything about it. By the time we started dating, we had been the closest of friends for almost a decade.
It didn't work out, and we aren't friends anymore. I don't think asking her earlier would have changed anything, besides getting it out of our system sooner. Honestly, I would give just about anything to have that friend back.
But she was a first-rate best friend, probably the only one of hundreds I am truly sad to have lost over the years. So you have to decide where Bob rates as a friend, and decide if you would rather have the friend forever or trade that for a chance at something more.
