Does this guy like me n should i get involved?

I like a guy at a shop I frequent. We exchanged numbers as friends to see a show .. with others ... but he had a family emergency n couldn't make it but said he'd text me to ask me to do something sometime. He always texts. Then he tells me he has to find a place to live asap as living with his ex gf ...and said that is why he had to text. We ARE friends right now ... so I don't get that and I don't really see why he can't talk around ex unless still sleeping together. I am wondering if he like me and if so ... should I wait to go anywhere eight him til he moves out*?? Thanks
