Search Results: crush flirting with other people

Long story short, I have a crush on someone I've been knowing for a year. I met him online and we weren't exactly close until he started messaging me back in June. He knew about my feelings before then, but at the time, he said that he wasn't looking for romance because of big changes in his life. I took that as a sign that he didn't want romance with me and tried to move on, but ever since June, it's been hard for me to move past my feelings.

Our mutual friends think he and I belong together because of the way we interact on our group chat, and they've been teasing us about it, but as of lately I'm not so sure how he feels.

On the one hand: he flirts with me constantly. Always says that he's definitely planning to meet up with me someday, says he would hug me and actually kiss me when we meet, says he would love to Skype with me, usually initiates conversations with me first, calls me beautiful as if it's a nickname, compliments me all the time, and has even said at one point he would take me to a nice restaurant, implying a date. At first I thought he was just jokingly flirting about the kissing, but he and I had a brief talk about how inexperienced we both are with kissing, and he said that it would be better then, because we could both be bad at it.

On the other hand: he has implied before that we are best friends, and the whole rejection thing that happened a few months prior still sticks to my mind. He has called me babe before, which I thought was a big sign that he liked me, but today he also called one of our mutual friends "babe" too, which made me think that he only calls that to people he's comfortable with.

I'm scared of knowing that he's flirting with me only playfully and not being as meaningful about it as I perceive it. I'm scared of being rejected by him. But should I just go for it anyway? Or should I just try to forget about my feelings and move on?

My friend has dated so many guys, and there are a few others she has a crush on too, but she also always has a boyfriend. She currently has one, but she still get's mad when one of her exes or simple crushes hits me up (which I do absolutely nothing to make them.) I don't even like any of them either, yet she feels like I go out of my way to take them from her.

The one time I was interested in one of them, it was her life long crush who approached me while she was in a serious relationship with someone else. I had to ask her if it was okay that I talk to him (because I thought that's what a good friend would do.) She got furious and I didn't do anything but ask for permission? She had a boyfriend at the time, and so I don't understand why every guy she's liked or had nothing serious with is completely off limits if she truly loves the relationship she's in?

I'm confused and I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or if she is? It just seems like she is very possessive over each and every one of them when they aren't even hers.

Ex. I went to a party her ex invited me to with my other friend, but I didn't flirt with him, I didn't do anything but hang out with him and some other people. And she said that was something "a friend wouldn't do." We played spin the bottle and I guess another one of her ex guys was there, first boyfriend ever from like 5 years ago, and he landed on me so I had to kiss him for 5 seconds (not because I wanted to because trust me I didn't), but I didn't see any harm in it considering it meant nothing to me, and that he was old history. She told me "It's not that I care about them anymore because I don't, It's that you are breaking girl code." If you don't care about them then it should not be against girl code, but that's just my opinion I guess.

Basically I want to know if by most girls I would be considered a terrible friend, or if she would be considered the terrible friend for overreacting like this?
