Does boy bsf like me or just being a friend?

[Anonymous]

i’ve given up trying to figure out my guy best friend. we’ve known each other for 4 years so we are pretty comfortable with each other. but recently after being apart for a while (distance) we met up and ended up cuddling snd he gave me a massage. since then he’s been very complimentary (tells me i’m beautiful, cute, etc). we snap a lot too and we are each other’s number ones. he even said he would have offered to pretend be my boyfriend when i said i was constantly getting hit on at work. you would think he would like me but he won’t make a move! on top of that he’ll send me goofy photos of himself (tongue out, funny faces) and sometimes in his snap i can see that he’s snapping me while on the toilet, but just showing his face. wouldn’t he care more if he liked me? and occasionally i’ll get the black screens but that’s only at night and he’ll snap a full face right after. i’m just getting crazy mixed signals from him.

He likes you but scared to make s move. Once you cross that line there is no going back so you may lose that friendship if it doesn't work out

Make a move on him and see how it goes. Some guys are blind to certain things. He thinks he's the gay friend.

but why is he so dry sometimes? it’s very one and off with him. i would understand that he’s scared but i feel like i’ve given him enough hints

I have went through the same thing and didn't realize it. He's stuck in that friend zone and doesn't get that you really want more

[Asker]

ok, so how should i go about this without being straight up “hey i like you.” bc incase he doesn’t like me that would be awkward

[wantstocuddleyou]

Have you guys hooked up at all?

[Asker]

no we haven’t

[wantstocuddleyou]

Just joke about it s little. Ask him where he is taking his girlfriend for Valentine's day. Then tell him where you want to go. Something sly to see how he responds

I would honestly make a move on him like tell him hey remember when you said you would pretend to be my boyfriend because I get hit on at work can you do that pause for a sec and then say but like for real and see what he says
if you could please take a look & answer my question I would really appreciate it thank you so much
