Context - I'm happily married with one DC. I have a dear male friend whomU've known forever and who has seen me through thick and thin - and with whom there has never been any spark of attraction between us, and I mean never ever.
That's still true from my perspective; I love him to pieces but no attraction whatsoever.
We occasionally go to events together that our spouses aren't interested in (boring things like lectures, not dinner dates!) and meet up for coffee once a month or so.
In the past few months he's been inviting me to a lot more things and texting more than usual. Again, nothing romantic. But I'm beginning to wonder whether he's developed a bit of a thing for me.
What should I do, if anything? I like his friendship and am completely secure in my marriage, and his feelings for me (if they exist) are not reciprocated. But I also don't want to give him the wrong idea - and at the same time I want to keep our friendship as it is.
Should I just ignore it and hope it goes away of its own accord?
More context - he's also married with one DC. They're like chalk and cheese but have been married for 20 years and to everyone else's knowledge without problems.
