My best friend might be inlove with me!?

Question

my best friend/neighbor of almost my entire life and i are going off to college but recently hes started to act differently, like more affectionate towards me. he always hugs me and jokes around that we will marry someday, and he never used to say stuff like that. its clear that we wont date because im always dating people around him, but i seriously think he might be actually inlove with me.

what should i think and how should i handle it?

Answer 1

He is feeling insecure about going away to college.  Pretending that you are his "security" makes him feel less lost.  Don't worry about it and be friendly and talk about how you feel about going away.  

Answer 2

Don't avoid what you think or feel. Tell him what you sense and feel when you are around him. Tell him the "vibe" you get. It is easy to lie to yourself by lying to others in order to calm any anxiety you have, but it takes courage to be honest to yourself and others. Ask him to have the same courage to express what he thinks and feels. No harm should come from such honesty, and if your friendship is harmed by honesty I question the quality of the relationship in the first place.

Will you want to look back and wonder what could have happened? I wouldn't.

Answer 3

TELL HIM THERE IS NO WAY U R INTERESTED... IF HE STARTS STOCKING U THEN I WOULD KICK HIM IN THE SKITTLES/ BANANAS

Answer 4

Isn't that what friends are supposed to do?I mean you're going off to college so he's

obviously going to change around you.

Answer 5

Buy him 5 lbs of bananas, and kiss him on the nose

and toes
