Does he feel something for me?

[Ofoceansbeaches]

I called my guy friend during one of my panic attacks and he was very supportive. He has always been my rock and when I called him, he showed me where he was at. He showed me the beach and after talking it out and venting what made me upset, he then told me that he wishes I was there with him and that we should go there to that place. I live far away so I was not able to join him.

Then, lately he told me he believes in me when I said I'm trying to heal. He did become emotional on my birthday and told me I meant so much to him and also told me multiple times he loves me. He also said he can't help but care about me when I got hospitalized.

We are both so dramatic when we are together and in the saddest moments, I'm just happy he is there for me. I don't know but he really surpasses even possible dating partners I have in terms of care, love so I'm wondering if he based on these feel something for me?

He does videocall and he is an avoidant and commitmentless due to past relationships but with me he is very open and transparent of his past, his exes, his sex life. He even tells me he is a bit open minded with sex and that if someone invites, he wouldn't say no as it's a pleasurable activity.

This guy doesn't have much attachments with his family but with me, he gets affected by my problems and cares a lot about me. He even prioritizes me than his dating partners and I in him. Lately, ever since I came in his life, he says why would he look for someone else when he has me to fulfill his needs and true enough, he hardly dates if at all.

Diving into the heart of your story, it sounds like this guy is showing signs that extend far beyond the boundaries of friendship. When someone is there for you during your darkest times, cheering you on in your personal growth, and openly expresses their love and care, it's clear they hold a special spot for you in their heart. The emotional bond you've described, especially with him prioritizing you over potential dating partners and finding solace and fulfillment in your company, indicates a profound connection.

His transparency about his past and open-mindedness toward relationships suggest he trusts you deeply, a foundation not commonly found in casual friendships. And while he might express avoidant and commitment-shy behaviors, his actions towards you paint a different picture—one of someone who's deeply invested emotionally.

This mix of dramatic flair in your interactions, combined with the preference to have you over anyone else, seems to be less about friendship and more about a deep-seated affection. His claim of not needing to look for someone else because he has you could be the biggest telltale sign of all. It might be time to have an open heart-to-heart about your feelings and the nature of your relationship. Who knows? This could be the beginning of something beautifully profound. 😉

Hmm it does sound like this guy might have some feelings for you beyond just being friends. A few things that stand out:

- The emotional support and care he shows you, especially during tough times, goes above and beyond what you'd expect from a regular friend. Wanting you there with him at the beach is also a sweet gesture.

- Saying he loves you and that you mean so much to him aren't things bros usually say to their girl friends.

- Opening up to you about personal stuff like past relationships and sex life shows a level of intimacy and trust beyond platonic.

- Clearly prioritizing you over any dating he does is another sign you're really important to him.

It seems like you have a really deep connection with him emotionally and he leans on you too when he's usually avoidant. I'd say there's a good chance he likes you as more than a friend based on all that. Maybe try slowly flirting a bit and see how he responds before fully confessing feelings. But you guys definitely have something special going on it sounds like!
