Mixed feelings :/

In my opinion, it seems to be an attraction beyond a friendship. When he talks about people around you, it's easier to deal with since he's not with them but once he might be, the talking gets harder. I say try to see what the emotions can develop into. Talk to him and see his view of you but understand that your friendship is the main thing so you don't want to overstep your boundaries so you don't make the friendship awkward. You can only gain from trying though.

I agree with the people above. I think you have feelings for your friend. There is a definite connection with you two and I know how difficult it is sometimes to have feelings for your best friend as you dont want to ruin the amazing friendship that you already have.if you agree that you have feelings for him give him some hints, like whenever you are talking about the girls he dates you should just go and say "you should just date me instead " in a sarcastic ish tone and see how he reacts. if hes being weird just say you were jokingalso you dont know if he has feelings for you and if he does then you have nothing to worryi wish you the best with your friend

For me, I've always put more importance on how I feel when I'm WITH the person. I can understand the mixed feelings, and something that feels like it's more when you're NOT with him… because everything can be in your mind, and our mind is our most powerful tool and/or weapon. It can create fantasies, and mix you up to confuse you like this. I've done it. And this guy actually told me to my face, "You were a completely different person over text, and things… than you were in person." He could tell I didn't have real feelings for him anymore. Because I didn't, even though, when I was away, I wanted to… I wanted to have the fantasy. Everyone wants someone, ya know. But I say, go with your gut. Be IN the moment, how you feel when you are around him. ; )
