Does my guy friend have feelings for me?

[Anonymous]

I have a guy friend that I’ve been friends with since high school and we’re now in our 2nd year of college but we both go to different schools. However, we stayed in contact ever since high school ended. He went through a bad breakup in high school and I was the person that picked him up off his feet and I helped him get over it. Even though we don’t go to the same colleges, we text every single day ever since we left high school over a year ago and he makes time to hang out with me. I am a pre-med student and he is a software engineering student, however, he even helped me study for an exam for a class that he doesn’t even take to make sure that I do well in the class. The other day we had dinner at red lobster. Then we went to Barnes & Noble and some stores together and finally to Friendly’s. Everyone I know thinks that we like one another or that he likes me. He’s a very private person, and he doesn’t open himself up easily to many people. The only other person he ever fully opened himself up with was his ex-girlfriend, and now I’m the person that he confides in and tells all of his innermost feelings and thoughts to. Even today when he helped me study for my exam, he mentioned that my shirt was really pretty and nice, which he never really does. So, do you think that he might have feelings for me?

It depends on multiple things. How did you help him after the breakup? Do you do things that a guy could understand as flirting? Does he seek physical contact? How is he with other girls or guys? Do you catch him looking at you when you do something where you focus on something else? And how does he react if you catch him? How does he react to other people while he is with you compared to when he is alone? How does he react when you talk about other guys? I think when you answere yourself these questions you'll get closer to an answere. You know how girls behave when they have feelings and for guys it is similar. The reason why he opens up to you can be explained by two things: either he has feelings for you or his trust in you got high enough that he is willing to give you his weakness. The easiest would be to just tell him that you feel like he might have feelings for you and to ask him if this is the case. Important is that he doesn't get the feeling that the way he answeres changes the way you talk to each other. Otherwise he might not tell the truth. I hope this was at least somewhat helpful

Maybe. Hats to say from that. What’s your gut tell you ⁉️

I’m very conflicted.

Okay…you truly are what Friendzone is supposed to be Not F-U 🖕Zone (Modern friendzone)

[noonejustme]

he might also view as a best friend. Would you date him if he confessed?

[Asker]

I honestly probably would. He’s one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met and he’s very attentive so he has like all traits I do want in a partner.

I think you should observe a bit more of the sudden changes of behaviours first

[Asker]

yeah you’re right. i think a lot of my friends and family have been thinking that he likes me because usually guys don’t text girls every second of the day for over a year and because i’m the only person he is really close to

Hope everything goes well either way :)
