He called me his "special friend"?

[Anonymous]

He has revealed to me a lot about himself, like his bad high school experience and he was saying he doesn't want to lose me and I asked why. He said that Im the only person who he can talk about everything and anything with. So I was glad! After that I asked him if he sees me as a friend? And he said "Of course, your very special to me"

So Im his "special friend" ... what does that even mean? Did I just get friendzoned? Previously, we use to flirt but now its fallen to that friends stage... I dont know what to do!

He sounds like he's trying to tell you he likes you, but is also afraid of saying too much in case you don't feel the same. Just tell him you like him as more than a friend, what have you got to lose?

I already have told him I like him and care about him a lot; want to be there to support him and give him advice whenever he needs it but just the "friend" label... it kills!

Ok so you remember the movie "Life Size" when Tyra Banks said Lindsay Lohan is her special friend?
Kind of like that type of relationship.
Shine bright, shine far, don't be shy, BE A STAR.

Never seen the movie but sounds hilarious, have to watch it

special means you are not in friendzone
you went into friendzone and not your ship is sailing to girlfriend zone

[Nik1hil]

friendzone and now* you ship

We use to flirt heaps initially and now we have fallen back to friends... there's less flirting and more joking around

[Nik1hil]

sometimes its slow! see the way it goes and also talk with him if you want a relationship

[Asker]

What do you mean its slow?

[Nik1hil]

talk to him, and let him know what you want, so he can tell you, how he sees it... and make things clear.
