What does he want from me?

Anonymous
I have always had feelings for my best friend, since the first day I met him. I don't think he has ever known, because he's not entirely a bright guy. All I know is he cares a lot about me and typically men don't care about a woman to the same extent unless they are in a relationship. What I mean is, whenever something bad happens to me he drops everything to help me, he can always tell when something is bothering me and he always wants to know what's wrong. If I mention something that I need, he remembers and tries to provide that for me if its within his capabilities. He remembers things I talk about that I never thought he'd remember.

But then there's the other side of him that's goofy and immature. He's not normally like this around other women. Although he's a natural silly guy, around me only...he likes to be that little annoying pest that likes to get me riled up. Like playful teasing, nicknames...just messing with me physically (poking, hitting, kicking, sneaking up behind me and scaring me) ... acting stupid in front of me. He's not like that around other women but he's been like that with me maybe after the first month we've known each other. I don't really encourage that behavior so he does it anyway.

There was a time for a while where he was less attentive when he was dating someone...but they aren't together anymore and lately we've been hanging out more and he's been more attentive, caring, and accommodating than he has in the recent past.

I don't know where this is going and I haven't told him how I felt because I don't know what this all means...I find it hard to believe he sees me platonically but acts/does what he does. It's unheard of. My other male friends don't act like that but I hardly think my best friend is interested in me either.

So what should I do?

Also, I consider him my best male friend...although he doesn't see me as his best female friend. I think eh just considers me as a female friend.
