Okay so we’ve only been close for 3-4 months.
Before him and my bestfriend (let’s call her B and myself C) went out everyone thought he had a thing for me , he would always be hugging me and ‘flirting’ I suppose. At the start of him and my bestfriends friends relationship , he still would cuddle up with me and tickle me and stuff although there was one time when someone said to him ‘why didn’t you pick C instead of B’ and he had to think for like a minute before answer and all he answered was ‘um um because I like B’ and they broke up a few days ago but during the relationship he would always message me and barely B and when they broke up it was because he never made a effort with B and said he had mixed feelings for her. And today I was with him and he would come and hug me from behind (flirty or friendly?) and put his arm around me or rest his head on my shoulder and rests his hand on my thigh and when he hugs me his hands travel really near to my bum. Do you think he likes me help?
