Guy friend being really sweet when we sleep near each other...?

Question

Well to set the scene- I have a best guy friend of 2 years- he knows I like him, things used to be kinda akward (we once spent a night drunk in his bed cuddling/groping/kissing forehead etc, about a year ago and that made things pretty akward- he apologised and we both made it clear it wouldnt happen again) but in the past few months, he's becoming a lot more playful and physically close, more talkative with me (will start a convo on msn every time we're online etc)

On results day last week, we got a little tipsy at a friend's house with about 5 friends. We were sleeping on the floor in sleeping bags and watching a film. He asked me to come over for a hug, so i rested my head on his lap throughout the film. Then we decided to go to bed after that, as soon as our friends switched off the lights, I felt him move his hand closer to me, and laid down facing towards me. I put my hand near his, and he started holding it straight away, and stroking it with one finger and he shuffled closer and we fell asleep.

All through the night we were cuddling and he was snuggling his face into mine and cuddling my hand and he kissed it, and he let me stroke his hair. this carried on after everyone else got up in the morning, we stayed in bed til midday doing this.

Things were fine the next day. Then, last night we went out drinking for his 18th birthday. He was teasing me all night, then we stayed at a friends again, on the floor in sleeping bags. He laid facing away from me, until my friend switched off the light. Then he turned to face me and put his hand near me again. I did the same, and he held it again and pretty much the same thing happened again, held hands, then in the morning i stroked his hair as he slept- when he woke up, I stopped but he moved his head underneath my hand to let me carry on.

Whats the deal with this? Its like we are friends during the day, then at night if we ever sleep together, we end up in the same situation, holding hands and cuddling etc. then normal again the next day.

He's leaving for university in 3 weeks :'(

He's the one initiating it, I can tell he moves his hand closer cos he wants me to hold it. Why's he doing this??

Answer 1

Sounds like yall should take it easy on the drinks.  Yall might be just lusting, when you are drunk.  Yall gotta talk about it like adults, instead of ignoring it. Either you like each other or not,. pretty black and white

Answer 2

It sounds like he doesn't anyone to know that you're getting close, so that's why he's waiting till it goes dark. Also he is probably feeling in the mood at that time and wants someone to...erm fulfil his urges!

Answer 3

I understand your desire to get an answer here, but really anything given would just be a guess. We all face different situations, and interpret our experiences in different ways, so that when it comes to making decisions, each of us does things for different reasons. It certainly seems as though this guy likes you, and it also seems like he is hesitant to show his affection in a public way . . . that much is clear. Why is he so hesitant though? The only way to find that out is by talking to him, and if he is leaving in a couple weeks, it's probably a good idea to get your relationship straightened out anyways. If you don't, then your just going to end up hurting yourself, and who knows, you might miss out on something great. So muster up that courage and go have a chat!

Answer 4

He Likes You .. But I Think He's To Shy To Tell Anyone Else Considering You Only Get Friendly at night .

I Suggest You Ask Him What's Up , Instead Of Doing This Every Night Till He Leaves..

Maybe He's Gonna Miss You ? ..

Hope I Helped

Answer 5

i think he like you dude.

Answer 6

If he is someone that really means something to you, then you should simply come out and tell him. He may be a little shy in specific circumstances (in a group of people for example) and is only comfortable when it is you and him alone in the dark, where he doesn't have the constant glare of others.

If you get into the situation again, you could always move in for a kiss but hold, and see how he reacts - if its favourable, then either move in or he'll probably have already.

Basically, do whatever feels right for you. If you want him, go and get him. If he isn't interested, then at least you know where you stand.

Answer 7

Well, isnt it obvious, he likes you and probably wants 2 have kissy kissy

Answer 8

Likes you.

Answer 9

alright, First of all, I have to say GO BISEXUAL PEOPLE!!

and second of all, you should confront him during the day [: tell Him how you feel. But make sure you're alone when you talk about it. Don't make a scene.
