Oh this is so Dawsons Creek
The neighbor thing is something that can sneak up on you out of nowhere. I wonder how long you all have been neighbors and known each other.
There are several possibilities to this scenario: if you guys have been neighbors for a long time, and played together as little kids. While your friendship is strong, he cannot seem to make that jump ahead because he only looks at you as that little girl he used to play with, and dosen't give you any association than that of "one of the guys" This is very common, because little kids often play together and are too young to confuse boy girl relations, girls are usually the first to have "those feelings".
I had the neighbor behind me come on to me really hard in our pool once, it freaked me out. Only because she was really good friends with my mom and it felt like an "arranged thing" so I was very uncomfortable. Truthfully, that made her "not my type". That brings up the point that a lot of guys aren't the mindless sex obsessed freaks that we wish we were
He could be looking to see whats out there. He sees you everyday at school and at home, probably wants to see else is around.
There is always another possibility (and pleas don't be offended by this either), the boy might be gay. And of course there's nothing wrong with that.
BTW, you said "hallway" so I made an assumption, but if you are way younger or way older than my assumption then I will feel strange.
Good luck to you
