Guy friend spooning, does he like me?

[NASA09]

So my best guy friend and I have been friends for quite a few months. We met last year and had a small thing going on that didn't last long-we got into an argument and one of his old crushes asked him out so he said yes. They went out for 7 months, she then dumped him for no specific reason 4 months ago. I got it out of him that he still isn't over her yet, (he said he has nightmares at night sometimes, he also has a hidden picture frame of her in his room) but he doesn't really talk about her so I'd imagine he's a bit moved on.
Anyways, so we hangout 1-3 times a week, he calls me at least every 2nd night and we're pretty comfortable with each other. By that, I mean we cuddled during a movie while 2 other friends were there about a month ago (those two friends weren't together) and last night we went to a party and we were spooning each other 3/4 of the night. He asked me to come and get a suit with him (he needed one for work) because he realized people don't usually end up buying something unless they have their wife with them? So that's a brief idea of the yes' and as for the no's; out of several opportunities he hasn't payed anything major for me (like we ate somewhere before but we took separate bills), he'll sometimes pay for my city bus ride but that's about it. He always hangs around me, he'll sometimes do gentleman-y moves (like opening doors or helping me put on my coat) yet he never pulls any moves (I try and flirt with him a bit sometimes). So my question is, does he like me? and if not then why is he so comfortable with me and cuddles/spoons be sometimes? Last time I checked, spooning isn't a friend kinda thing. Thanks.

Can someone please give a more detailed answer. Just saying "Yeah he likes you" makes me think you're just saying that because it looks like it's the answer I'm looking for. The answer I'm looking for is a legit, honest answer. Thank you.

I think the only way you will no for sure is to ask him, but if he doesn't feel the same it could complicate your friendship. But then again if you have fallen for him it might be best to ask him if he does have feelings for you otherwise you may get hurt later.

It sounds a bit like he does like you also but maybe because he still has feelings for his ex he wants to get over her fully first before starting something new.
But with the fact that he does call you a lot and spend time with you makes me think he likes you but I suppose it could be just as friends, but the fact he cuddles you in front of other people shows he doesn't hide it. Not all guys pay even when there in a relationship with the girl, I think it's nice of him to pay for the small stuff for you and opening doors and things like that.
But some people do spoon with there friends and not expect anything out of it just for comfort.

Thank you so much, this is a type of answer I was looking for! Thing is, I'd like to ask him if he has feelings for me but I also don't want to complicate the friendship or make things awkward. I'd like to step it forward but I definitely don't want to bring it backwards.

I know exactly what you mean but the longer you wait the harder it will be in the end for you because you will get more attatched. It's a tough choice to make. Good luck Hun.

He is interested in you, but the old flame is haunting him. He likes having a female friend like you coz he feels safe.

It's like my and my gfs all feel totally comfie around around this old guy we know that looks like Santa Claus. We feel safe around him, including doing cuddly things coz he is happily married, so we feel SAFE with him.

Yes he certainly likes you. He's probably just nervous!

No it isn't. He likes you a lot
