Long term Guy friend described me as his type?

[Anonymous]

He said indirectly that I am:

• Super smart
• Successful
• Very ambitious
• Wacky sense of humour
• Can laugh at myself
• Not take myself too seriously

He said that he has a crush on this person and that they're his type. These qualities all make sense based on the conversations we have had over the years. He also said that he doesn't think anything could happen, because there's nothing from his crush's side - also consistent with how I am towards him.
when we started texting he said that I was his type of person and very interesting to talk to. He even drunk texted me once and was flirty. I d k how to proceed with this - will his feelings fade or should I be natural.

He's trying to tell you he's into you, or that you are the type of lady he's into.

Yeah I understand. I value him more than most of my friends so I do not want to lose him if we date and it doesn't pan out. What do you think we should do?

A compliment i think 😊
