To think that close male friend may have feelings?

[scrabblediva]

Romantic feelings? I cannot explain why but I feel that the dynamic had changed . We are close for a lot of years . We have begun to text more often and the conversations are getting more intense . Eye contact is a little more intense and he seems to be always around, when there really isn’t a need . I cannot explain it well but I feel that there has been a shift in the friendship . In any of your experiences of moving from friend to more, were there been any notable or significant changes that led you to believe that there were more feelings than friendship ones .

Of course it's possible, but nobody here can tell you one way or the other based on what you've written. Are you both single? Are you attracted to him?

It's common for friends to become lovers if they're both single.

Do.you feel the same way?

I’m married. I have no sexual feelings for him but very strong emotional attraction. He is just in a new relationship , last six months . He doesn’t really speak of her and when he does he says she is a lovely girl . That’s all he says . It is possible that I may be imagining it . It’s just different

Best that you back off the intensity in that case and put more emotional energy into improving your relationship with your DH. I get the feeling you're feeling excited about this affair though, so you probably won't.

Emotional attraction?! I would stay well clear op

Are you sure you aren't looking and hoping for something that isn't there

I am not hoping for anything more than friendship as I am
Married . However , there is a part of me that feels that there is some change because of his behaviour eg compliments, hanging around all the time, excessive messaging etc . There is a ten year age gap too . I’m much older so I can’t see what the attraction would be. He may be bored or lonely or even looking for an ego boost I suppose but regardless, I need to shut it down if there are feelings but don’t want to make a twat of myself if I’m imagining this .this is why I was asking My opening post if you felt that this was normal in your male female friendships..heis my only male friend

Sometimes you get a bit instinct. Have had a similar experience recently. Back off. What are his messages like? Flirty?
