Search Results: does he think of me as a friend

So everyone...

The person I'm talking about is my classmate... that boy has started to get a bit weird... he talks to me whenever possible... helps me whenever I ask him (but he doesn't to other girls).. secretly glances at me as if I can't see him doing that... calls me brave.. asks me questions about how was my vacation (he doesn't ask other girls though)... come out of his way to talk to me.. he respects me... he copies me sometimes.. he show offs in front of me (some wild kicking and punching in the air).. he listens too well for a friend... but doesn't even look in the eye of other girl while talking to them... never goes against me.. he defended me against some girls (he never does that for any girl).. he treats me differently (very nicely)... he messages very quickly... and he never insults me.. so what do you think?

So there’s this guy that I’m friends with, and we have been friends for sometime. I used to have a crush on him and I admitted to him that I was attracted to him. He said he didn’t feel the same way and I didn’t feel a ways about it so we just moved on. It took me a minute but I finally got over my attraction.

However, this man makes sexual jokes about us engaging in sexual acts, saying he thinks of me when he uses his sex toys, touches my leg, likes to make fun and a lot more. He flirts with me a lot. I catch him staring at me sometimes too, and when I look up sometimes he’ll look away, sometimes he’ll maintain eye contact. More than what a guy friend would do.

However, anytime I jokingly say he likes me he gets unnecessarily defensive about it. Also, he tends to play some songs (love songs or affectionate songs) when I’m around, he tends to do that when he can’t express himself. And he gets jealous when I talk to other guys (romantically or not). Even if it’s for a short spell, he stares at the man. Or if I talk about having another guy friend he gets fairly defensive about that too. But, he talks to girls a lot and has female friends too.

And the one thing I’ve noticed when interacting with his female friends is that they tend to act weird around me. As if they have some type of animosity towards me, but I don’t hang out with them enough for them to even have animosity so I have no idea. I suspect that he may talk about me to them a lot and they don’t like that, and some of them may even like him but he tends to give me a lot of attention. So I’m trying to figure out, is it possible that he likes me?

My husband spanks me. Not all the time but if I slap his face or shove him during an argument or if I'm being an asshole he does. Before you judge, we've been together as friends and partners for over half our lives. He said he's a spanker now and it's not as weird as I think. He said he's not putting up with my behavior and I know it's coming.

Please don't troll or be an a hole. Serious answers only.
