He actually likes me or just lusting?

[Anonymous]

so my male bestf and i are friends for more than 4years. he used to like me and we were kinda dating but things didn't go well, i didn't feel emotionally connected so we decided to take a break. and then i didn't get back. I moved on, well, pretty fast than he did. he dated 2 girls after me. now he's single and so am i but these 3weeks we've been hanging out and making out. he gets jealous whenever i flirt with other boys but when i ask him about how he feels. he doesn't answer he changes the topic or do something like kissing me or hugging me or hold my hand.
I'm really confused what's going on in his head.

There is tension between you two because you're not exactly in the "friendship" area... If he likes you and is still jealous if you flirt with guys instead of being happy for you, it's clear he still likes you, or is crushing on you, etc. If you don't reciprocate, things -will- fall apart, or anyway, you will need to take a step back again. This is an unreciprocated love that pretends to be a friendship. He did not move on...
I would advice to first sort this out before any further meeting that could reinforce his feelings.

This is a friendship, according to YOU.

"i didn't feel emotionally connected so we decided to take a break. and then i didn't get back." - this is YOU, not him.

"he gets jealous whenever i flirt with other boys but when i ask him about how he feels. he doesn't answer he changes the topic or do something like kissing me or hugging me or hold my hand." - He does this because you allow him.

My take? He has ALWAYS liked you more than a friend. Here's the bad news - I don't know if it is genuine. Because in my opinion, he'd be a lot more direct with his intentions.

The issue is he doesn't have to be in order to kiss/hug you or hold your hand.

That part is on YOU.

For him? He doesn't go out of his way to state his intentions. Either he doesn't know what he wants or it is lust.

Be safe and good luck.

Probably best to figure out where you are at first. You aren't friends, that's for sure.

I wanna respond but it's too time consuming
