What is he feeling?

[Anonymous]

Of course, nobody can tell what he is exactly feeling but I just want opinion from other people specifically guys.

This guy (24) (we will call him John) and me (25) have been online friends since 2019 when covid striked. He's been in relationships, some shorter ones (like 1yr max) and I've been in a longer ones since then. However we would always be in contact and especially when both single. We talk via calls for hours sometimes, however not often, once in a while as he lives in USA and I live in Europe. we also text but not everyday. We know each other well. I realized i have major crush on him, like im always drown to him no matter what. We can stop talking for some time and i dont think about him but as soon as we chat again my crush is back. For 7 (SEVEN) years... he flirts with me unexpextedly, asks me sometimes all of a sudden like whats my romantic status, he listens to me well, asks for my opinions and advices. But when we flirt he is either keeping it going or sometimes just changes energy all of a sudden and stops doing so. He mostly initiates this and i just follow along. Maybe only couple of times i initiated him. He mentions wanting to meet up and how nice it would be but we never actually talk seriously about it. Pls someone tell me what do you think? Is he also into me but avoids it due to distance or he just sees me as a friend?

He is crushingggg

He is playing you

He's definitely into you. I've actually been in a similar situation but from a guys point of view. Most of what you said sounds familiar. I was friends with the girl for a long time. We got along the best but didn't realize I liked her till she got in a relationship and even then we would talk rarely throughout the years but everytime we did it was back to being a great connection. The reason I'm telling you this is because your situation sounds very similar to mine except you're the girl. And another strong," issue" my friend only lived what? two states away? You guys live in two different COUNTRIES

Shitt good luck. He may like you but I genuinely have no idea how you guys would make that work. Unless one or both is willing to change their lives for the other and move eventually. The connection seems to be there. And It does sound like he's barely realizing he liked you or just got tired of hiding it. But even if its best case scenario, if he did like you as well. Then what?

As you said there's no way i can 100 percent know if he likes you but if it looks like a sheep and sounds like a sheep. Well then what is it? You know what I mean.
I'm not saying give up on being with him in the event he does like you as I suspect. But it sure as hell ain't going to be easy

Especially with the decrease in communication recently
