I have a guy best friend and I do like him back, but am trying to figure out if he likes me before making any moves. I can’t tell if these things I’m about to list or coincidences or not, so any advice is appreciated.
- He often asks me if I find celebrities/characters/random guys that look like him attractive
- He seems to get jealous when I bring up other random dudes
- He tries really hard to get close to my dad
- My dad and one of our mutual friends think he has a thing for me
- In the past, though this was a few years ago, he told me I look like a doll on one occasion and Rapunzel on another
- I gave him a piece of jewelry for his birthday and he gave me one back (though this could just be returning the kindness)
- He described his type (personality wise) in a group setting one time and someone said that that description sounds like me, but he went quiet after that
- He sends me silly cat and animal videos a lot
- One time we were talking and he said “you never tell anyone you love them” but in such a way & context that I think he wanted me to say it to him

Hmm, this is a tough one. There are definitely some signs he might like you, but hard to say for sure based on that stuff alone. A few things I'd try:
- See if he gets nervous or shy around you at all, like avoids eye contact or gets quiet. Guys do that when they like a girl.
- Pay attention to little things like if he finds excuses to touch you like hugs, puts his arm around you, plays with your hair etc.
- Check how attentive he is when you talk - does he really listen or seem distracted. Good sign if he's hanging on your every word.
- Ask him directly if he thinks you're cute sometime casually and watch his reaction. Might reveal something.
- Flirt with him a bit and see how he responds. Smile more, playfully tease him back, see if he flirts too or gets uncomfortable.
- If you hang just you two does he act couple-y at all, like trying to impress you or sneaking little looks your way?
Give some of those a try and see what vibe you get. If he definitely seems into you then shoot your shot! The not knowing would drive me crazy. Let me know what happens!
Nothing really compelling in your list.
