Do you think my best friend has feelings for me?

[Anonymous]

I’ve been friends with this guy for 17 years, we met when we were 11 and even been inseparable since. During those 17 years he’s dated and I’ve dated and I even got married. Nothing has ever happened between us ever. But I got divorced 3 years so recently he’s been acting very weird. He’s need really touchy, touching my neck, my face and my lips. He’s play with my hand/hands. He’s get all up in my personal space. Put his hand on my thigh when I’m riding passenger side. Now he’s my best friend yes but he’s also a little shy when it comes to women, so my question is does he like me?

You've known him for 17 years and you don't know him well enough to know this? You think the things he is doing to you are 'friend' things. Please tell me you aren't that naive.

It’s not that I’m naive but knowing someone as a friend and knowing someone as a potential partner are two different things. There’s never been feelings involved so yeah I know him inside out as my best friend but I don’t know that side of him. The romantic, flirty side. If don’t if that made sense

Seems like it. I liked my bestfriend, but I didn't even touch her like that.

Probably as a close friend
