If you learned a male friend had feelings for you but hid them for the sake of your friendship, would you confront him about it?

I would confront him

I would let it be

Yes, and I'd be unimpressed. If he's hiding, that's a terrible foundation for both a friendship and a romance.

It would breed resentment and he's 99% likely to suddenly get mad at me when I date someone else, because he never made it known he had feelings but also wanted more than a friendship.

This sucks because often times the guy feels sure we know they like us and we are just stringing them along when I’m reality we’ve just gotten so comfortable around the guy, they mistake it for something else since we aren’t that way with just any old body. I would hope the guy wouldn’t suffer in silence, or think that pretending to be my friend will pay off one day when that’s not the case.

It’s not really that hard to figure out if a guy has feelings for you or not so nope. That’s on him to initiate and for him to express, and if he doesn’t that’s cool with me.
