Answer

I agree with Abbi.  I would add that, in this context, it appears to mean to think about another man in a romantic or sexual way.

Answer

“To wonder” is to be curious. It’s a mental activity like thinking, but not a synonym for “think”. 
“I wonder if she likes me” (I don’t know if she likes me, and I’d I’m interested in finding out.)

Answer

To think about or to contemplate.
