What does it mean when a guy asks if I miss him?

[Anonymous]

I've been close friends with a guy for over three months. Lately we've been discussing how much we like each other (romantically) but he has a girlfriend so we keep it platonic. Today, out of the blue he asked "do you miss me?" (we haven't seen each other in a few weeks but talk every single day). I asked why he was asking after I said of "of course" and he laughed it off a bit and said he was just fishing (seemed embarrassed a little. What does it mean when a guy asks if you miss him? Anything behind it more than just wanting to know?

it's likely he was just saying playfully.

i do that often with female friends who I hangout with after a couple of weeks of not seeing them. usually when I see them I say " did you miss me?" ending with "yup I knew it"

i think he's just being playful

He didn't end it with "yup I knew it"...it was more that he sounded a bit sad and embarrassed for asking and then also followed with that he missed me too. He didn't ask in a playful tone.

He likes you just a bit more than he likes the other girls.
