Is this a sign of more than friendly interest?

[Anonymous]

We're already rather close friends for last few years but I feel we're getting even more so.
He started calling me babe. Last time I was at some birthday party he asked me to send him some pictures. He said nothing at first, but few texts later he said: "You're looking younger and sweeter... you radiate... you glow... you smell great💦"
ME: Radiate like Chernobyl?😂
HIM: " Much more"
ME: hmm, thanks... I think... since I never know with you... if you're kidding me
HIM: I like to make you think... that is the goal
HIM: No joking
He also said: "You don't know what you're doing to a man"

Yes, he sounds as if he is smouldering inside for you. He seems to have a bad crush on you. I know the feeling...

[OlderAndWiser]

Yes, more than friendly interest.

Um definitely not friendly chatting. Aren't you like an adult... you should sense this... or not?

[Asker]

Yes, I do sense, but it is not easy to risk a great friendship over potential misunderstanding

[maluhiakoa]

No doubt, he is into you

[Avicenna]

Oh, yeah, definitely more

Probably more than a friendly ineterest
