But once, he told me I loved you in front of his friends but he added "not romantically." He was very happy when I said it back, but still. That would mean he doesn't like me, but the other signs have me confused.
He knows I liked him 8 years ago cos I confessed back when we were kids. Nothing came of it then. Maybe now he's just teasing me since I used to like him?
For the record we were both drunk during a lot of this (he invites me over to drink and offers me a lot of whiskey) and we both have anxiety.
