Generally speaking there's usually no way of telling.
However given your age...
If you're looking half decent then probably something like 80% of the guys you interact with daily that's within a year in age of you have had sexual thoughts about you at some point or other...
The rest will be anything from gay to asexual to just having limitations on what girls they're interested in that doesn't include you...
And some girls have probably thought about you too.
They're all teens after all...

If you're less attractive then some of them probably have thought about you that way anyway, but it might be a more normal level...

As for people in a completely different age bracket...
Honestly I don't know, probably a few both of younger and older guys might have thought about you that way without acting on it, but most probably don't.

But yeah, as a rule of thumb most guys your age has though about you that way.
But not all, so don't start assuming consent etc to just anything...

Are you ugly? No? Then he is. There's nothing to deal with. I've thought about 3 different women this morning alone. Doesn't mean I'm actually going to put the moves on Tina Turner (RIP), Amy Lee and 1980s Sarah Brightman.

I've had a number of female friends confess to having sexual thoughts about me. When we're both single maybe we'll work that out, in the interim... meh.

You would probably never know unless you catch him checking your out. How you deal with it depends on if you are comfortable with it or not.

If they are looking at you and have a boner. Or you just catch them looking at you a lot

Was I that obvious? Lmao Yeah you can probably tell. It's only a thing if you/they let it be a thing. It'll either pass once your friend gets laid or he'll get creepy inwhich case he most likely won't. be your friend anymore

I had a friend who was a girl and we went to the beach one day. We weren't going out or anything, but she was wearing a bikini and she looked really hot. So I couldn't help it, I got a boner and she noticed. I know she did because she laughed and pointed at my bulge and she was like, "down boy"! Embarrassing obviously.

I definitely don't notice. I am oblivious when it comes towards people's interest towards me, to the point that I have been on dates that I didn't realize were dates until days, weeks or years later
