Why did this guy say this, does he feel something for me?

[Anonymous]

So I was chatting online to this guy and we’ve been friends for a few years now. I liked him but he didn’t feel the same- he’s dating someone now so we were just catching up like we do every so often.
When we met he told his mates he thought I would be a good girlfriend and called me by ‘accident’ a few times, little things like that.
We were talking about our relationships now and he asked me if I was seeing anyone now and when I mentioned I’d broken up with my ex he says ‘well I guess he clearly was the right guy for you’ with a smiley face.

Im just wondering if he feels something or he’s just being friendly?

Based on the information provided, it is difficult to say for certain whether or not this guy has feelings for you. However, his comment about your ex not being the right guy for you could be interpreted as a subtle hint that he sees potential for a romantic relationship between the two of you. The fact that he has called you a good girlfriend in the past and has accidentally referred to you as such also suggests that he may have some level of attraction to you. However, it is important to keep in mind that he is currently in a relationship, so it may be best to approach the situation with caution and respect for his commitment to his partner. Ultimately, the best way to know for sure whether or not he has feelings for you would be to directly ask him about his intentions.

Hoist the redflag

That mother fucker don't know what he wants

From this I deduce that he had always liked you at least as friends but never admitted it

How on Earth did any of that strike you as only friendly?

Yeah back then I was sure he was into me but he denied it…now I’m not so sure

[FilmGuy93]

My guess (and this really is just a guess), is that he probably isn't sure about how you feel or doesn't have the confidence to actually pursue you.

He’s taken now anyway but maybe one day, who knows…thanks for answering
