Why would he answer this way?

I had a date with a male friend and one of his female friends last week. Everything went well until she asked him what were we (me and him) and he started saying how he doesn't know how to label it and goes on about how of all the things in life he only struggles with this.

We then changed topic

Later i've been invited to a wedding in a foreign country (one that he wants to visit too). The invitation was open to possible boyfriends/girlfriends too. I told him that and he joked saying "you should consider me, tell em i'm you're boyfriend and it's all good" and i reacted with a "BOYFRIEND"?

He replied later with a "i bet you were scared for these 2 hours before i answered you", i jokingly said "who knows" and he replied with a smiling emoji with hearts.

I don't know what is happening, i'm pretty sure that if i ask him he's gonna tell we're just friends but all of this is confusing me

Have you talked about this before and has he told you that you’re friends?

yeah i did talk to him a long time ago, i wanted some clarity on his confusing behaviour and he said we're just friends

Oh man, I think I spoke to you about this recently. Is this the guy who’s short and you didn’t like him at first but now you do, and he’s taken you to fancy restaurants and gets a hotel near yours when you visit yet he calls you friend and even little sister at one point?

[Asker]

No, that isn't me ahah but that's hella confusing and I see the similarity

Ohh okay because I felt bad if that was you and you were still going through it! Lol well I’m any case, if he’s already clarified that you’re friends then unfortunately from here, if you choose to continue on with him he may think you’re just fine being this kind of friend. I don't know about you but I don’t like blurring the lines and not knowing where I stand with someone, so if I were you and I really felt like there’s maybe a change of heart then I’d ask. I think whatever the outcome is will benefit you no matter what even if it’s hurtful. For example if your feelings are reciprocated then you can distance yourself to get over your crush, and if they are reciprocated then you can work towards a future that you can get excited about.
