I have this shy guy friend. Nowadays we live far away due to studies. We’ve known each other since high school. I had a crush on him back then which I told him but he liked another girl (a mutual friend back then) who eventually hurt him. I moved on and got a boyfriend. I’ve caught feelings for him again.
Last weekend I was in his town and spent most of the time with him. First night we hung out at his place just talking. Then we had dinner out. At dinner he told me he had given up on finding a girlfriend and that he has never had romantic feelings for anyone. He also said he has trust issues and trusts nobody. He asked why it ended with my ex who he never seemed to like. When we talked about the time we got to know each other he said ”somehow you captured me.”
After this he brought me to meet his friends for drinks. Before saying goodbye he kinda tickled my waist and we shared a long hug.
We decided to meet the next evening as well and after hanging out at his place for hours I told him I have feelings for him. He got nervous and said "I dont know what to say" and then he said ”what is it you like about me?” I told him a few things and he replied he felt those things too, like enjoying my company, that Im easy to talk to and added that Im funny and good looking…”But I don’t feel more than that but I have been thinking about it. Although we’ve been friends for long I feel like you don’t fully know me.” I told him I felt a bit stupid since we’ve been in this situation before and he replied I shouldnt feel stupid and that he appriciated what I told him. ”I know you liked me in the past but then you got together with that boyfriend (my ex) and all…” (as I said before he has already rejected me then).
He also asked “what is it you would want between us?” Since I felt rejected I replied “I don’t know exactly”.
Later he walked me to the bus and I said he didn't have to wait with me. He replied ”I’m happy to.” He also said “I hope this doesn’t change anything between us?”
On my way to the hotel he texted me it was really nice seeing me. The next day he texted me to ask of my flight home went ok. It’s not really like him to text like that.
Now I found out from his best friend he has been talking to him about me and our talk. He also took a screenshot of a selfie I had posted.
What does he feel for me?
