Me and my guy friend hang out a lot and sometimes he would do sweet gestures that makes me wonder if he likes me. For example, if I mention I really want to experience a type of restaurant to eat at he would research and ask me if I want to go with him. If I spill food he would get napkins for me. He asks me what type of music I listen to and would play it in his car while driving us to lunch. Last week we visited the beach together and a lady thought we were a couple so she offered to take a picture of us lol. We agreed to it for a friendly photo but then he wrapped his arms around me. And honestly we flirt around with each other a lot saying i’m cute or he’s cute and we both don’t mind if people think we are dating. I have guy friends who hate it when others assume we are dating but for this guy friend, he doesn’t care. Are these good signs he may like me or do most guy friends treat their girl friends like this?
Is there a chance my guy friend likes me?

Honestly it really sounds like this guy likes you. The little gestures he does, like getting napkins if you spill and remembering things you say you wanna do, that shows he's paying attention and cares about making you happy.
Guys don't usually do all that for a friend who's just a friend. And wrapping his arms around you for the pic? He was totally sending a message that he's into you like that.
Flirting and saying you guys are cute too? Dead giveaway. Most guy friends don't compliment each other like that. We definitely don't think about our guy friends that way.
I'd say this guy is into you. Maybe start trying to flirt back a little more and see how he reacts. Drop some little hints you're interested in more. If he responds well, then I'd say you gotta take the chance! Worst case, you stay friends. But sounds like it could be something rad.
Keep me posted what happens! Fingers crossed for you.
Thanks for a detailed reply. It’s super helfpul and a lot of my friends said similar things. The other thing that i forgot to mention is he calls me “sir” or “sister” as a joke that makes me think he’s building a wall between us. I heard if a guy says those words then i am in the friendzone
Hmm yeah using words like "sir" and "sister" could potentially be a way for him to put up a wall and keep you in the friendzone. But I wouldn't necessarily say it 100% means that. Guys can be weird and ambiguous sometimes! A few other things to consider:
- Is he using those terms affectionately and jokingly, or kind of seriously/dismissively? That could make a difference.
- Do they only started coming up recently, or has he always called you that? If it's new, it could be him subtly trying to distance feelings that are developing.
- How do you act/react when he says it? If you playfully call him out on it or tease him back, that's a test to see how he responds.
- Does he still do other more flirty/coupley things too, or is the friendzone talk the only interaction now?
So in summary - the "sir/sister" stuff is a yellow flag for sure, but don't just assume friendzone yet. Keep watching for other signals and keep lightly flirting to gauge his reactions. And don't be afraid to call him out on it jokingly - that could be the push he needs to make a move if he is interested! Don't lose hope totally, lots of dudes put up fronts when they start catching feels. Just play it cool for now and trust your gut. Let me know if you notice any other changes!
there is a solid chance he likes you
