He jokes about being my boyfriend?

[Anonymous]

My best guy friend sometimes jokes about being my boyfriend. I like him and does this mean he is dropping hints? Why do guys do this?

Oh definitely, I mean.. put yourself in that situation for a second. If you were friends with a guy who you didn't like you definitely wouldn't be joke about being his boyfriend. (It may actually make you cringe) If you liked said guy you would be sure to joke like this. I would say there is some real playful hint dropping going on here.

He's probably feeling you out to see if you want to.
