Nosy but hoping (on behalf of a friend)

NC cos forgot password! I feel so nosy, but need to ask.

Background: A close ish friend of mine, single for about a year now after a sad end to a LTR. She is very good friends with a guy, has been for years (nothing to do with the end of her relationship.) She's lovely, he seems really nice. She has admitted to fancying him a bit (more than a bit!) to me. Doesn't know if he feels the same (I think he does though), and there is no way she will jeopardise their friendship by probing further.

Anyway - to the point! They spend loads of time together, like at least 1 afternoon/evening in the week, and both weekend days (when their work allows - usually at least one day). My thought is you don't spend that much time with someone you don't like (as in fancy). I have nearly said this to her, but wanted the thoughts of you vipers in case I am wide of the mark. THis is one time I would love to be right!

I've had male friends that I've spent a lot of time with.

She needs to bring the subject of dating up again. See what he's got to say.

Is he definitely heterosexual?

Thanks birds.

Yes definitely not gay. I don't think she would bring up dating, just because it might jeopardise what they have. Neither of them are particularly confident with themselves I think.

I have a close male friend who I see a lot of, and would probably see even more of if we weren’t both busy, and married with children. No sexual attraction is involved.

Obviously it’s possible the attraction is mutual. It’s also possible that if they’re both currently single, and your friend is grieving the end of a LTR, they just happen have plenty of free time at the same time, and similar ideas about how to spend it.
