Search Results: my crush has a girlfriend

A friend of mine told my crush that I like him a couple of months ago. She thought she will be doing a really good thing although at the time I was not interested in pursuing anything with him. I told him that I had no intentions to follow up on this crush and that I did not ask my friend to intervene. He said he is comfortable with us beeing friends and that he likes it the way it is. He also has a lot of projects in front of him that require his whole attention. I don't even think he is looking for a girlfriend. I am sure though that physical atttaction is not the problem. I think he does find me attractive, at least a little bit. For a while we did not see each other because of outer circumstances but lately he reached out to me. We have ongoing conversations on the phone now and he has been opening up about his inner life quite a bit. He trusts me and talks to me about his problems and worries. I am a good listener and I like to be there for people I care about and also I feel I understand him really well. Do you think, that a guy can develop feelings of romantic attraction also based on that comforting and supportive connection? I like it the way it is now and I don't mind if it stays like this and my crush feelings are also not so strong anymore. But on the other hand it would be nice... What are your experiences with female friends? Did you develeop feelings based on a caring supportive nature?

Okay! I've known this dude for a year now but it wasn't until half a year ago we got close. Since we got close, he has always poked me at random occasions and he lets me borrow his pocket knives that are his distractions when he's bored. Also, he always places me in stations close to him (because he's a manager BUT NOT OLD). At times when I'm next to him he leans his head on my shoulder and puts his body weight against mine. When he leaves he always gives me tight hugs, just recently when we worked he gave me a hug AND lifted me up as he did that. On Snapchat I'm his #1 bestfriend but there's a catch.. He has a girlfriend. And by the way, they live together. But what I know of her, she is very controlling and has always been overzeleaous, accused him of being gay for texting guys weird BUT this dude is 100% straight, you can see it clearly. I've just always been confused about if he even feels a thing. I've gotten him pins for his uniform, he wears them at the front center where everyone can see. Recently, I've also gotten him his first matching pin with me it has a tiny heart and I told him clearly that it would match mine and asked if he's okay with it, his response.. "Well let me see yours to see which one I like more." I'm MIXED on this situation.
