So me and this bisexual friend of mine is too close for comfort. He is leaning on the other side. I do admit I enjoy his company but I've seen patterns where I attract commitment phobes as he is openly one. We usually go out 1 on 1.
Anyway, he's very open of his past to me and told me he trust me fully 100%, giving me all the details from his past breakups and what he did, almost all his secrets. He engages in casual sex and dating but said he didn't have any emotions involved in it. He also told me with other people, he has a filter but with me he doesn't. Also enjoyed laughing together often. In the meantime, I also feel that dynamic when I'm with him. I can absolutely be myself.
Lately, his inner child is something that I can see as well. He is already comfortable showing how childish he is and I sometimes already scold him.
The problem I have is I'm seeing he is getting emotionally attached and he doesn't see it yet. He is extremely vulnerable to me and gets easily affected if I get mad. He is also already very sweet. I have commitment issues more so because he is a giant red flag. He is even planning to come back and stay here for good in my city saying because I'm here.
I'm getting worried with the dynamic. I mean i totally love the person and he knows. I can also feel he does but I'm not wanting to go to a different direction which is a thin line.
I am not also discounting the fact that he may really be bisexual because I saw him thrice looking at my upper body part.
Now I'm worried if I'm just overthinking it or otherwise putting a distance to an otherwise great friendship. He is my go to person so it's also hard to give space. I'm honestly doubting where this leads because we are too close. Advice anyone?

I think you need to discuss this with him personally. Just like he is open and honest with you - shouldn’t you feel the same? Say “hey I just want to know where your head is at between me and you. I enjoy our friendship very much but just wanted to make sure we are on the same page of things” this will give him room to be able to discuss his side without you insinuating your side first, and you will be able to see if he is looking for something more or is truly just loving the friendship
I'm not wanting anything to go anywhere. I'm just worried that's all and is planning to put a little bit barriers.
Yes you have to communicate in order to set proper boundaries. This friendship seems super one sided if you feel too nervous to generate your own truth towards him
It sounds like he’s crushing on you. You guys need to have a serious talk about how you feel about each other.
