Background: Male best friend, known each other since age 10. friends with benefits on and off through teens until I met my now DH (aged 22). DH knows all about him. Friend now lives overseas so we call to chat every so often and FB message. we catch up when he visits, with DH as well. He and DH get on well. Friend now has a fiancee. Met her and she's lovely. I am 100% he has no feelings for me beyond brother/sisterly now, it's been 13 years since we were 'together'.
friend has just sent me a video on FB, a bit random as he is swimming with bats in the trees. He sounds a bit drunk but the video was posted early morning his time so he shouldn't be. its a 13 second vid where her says 'hey, i'm taking an early morning swim with bats....aw....i love you'.
The way he says i love you makes it clear he meant this video for his fiancee. so do i ignore it? jokingly say 'er...think you meant this for fiancee?!' ignore the i love you bit and say something like 'cool bats'? or take it like he meant it as a friend even though the look in his eyes and the tone is wrong and reply 'cool bats, love you too buddy!'
don't want to make a big deal out of nothing, we have on occassion said 'i love you' when he's about to leave to go back to his resident country but something in the tone of the video is wrong for it to be how he talks to me.
