What would my body language be saying in the following sit..?

Question

I want to tell a friend of mine he's very special to me. I want you to tell me what different body languages I may do and what it means:

I say "(insert his name here) you're very special to me" I gaze into his eyes and.....

A) walk away

or

B) wave and walk away

or

C) pat him on the shoulder and walk away

or

D) give him a side hug and walk away

I don't want to kiss him because I respect and honor him too much.

By special I mean as a friend and something more. But all I'm gonna tell him is that he's very special to me. It's up to him how he takes it.

So please interpret the 4 possibilities and what it'd say.

Answer 1

Don't walk away.  Stay for the response.

Answer 2

definatly do not do a.

b,c are like just friends.

d is u wanta be more then friends but its a little akward.

so i would do d.

but kinda wave when u leave too.

:D

Answer 3

A hug would be most appropriate in this situation - if he feels the same way you'll just know it - good luck

Answer 4

B and C are like straight hey I wanna be your friend and that is it. D is more like your into him but not so serious and A is like giving him this mysterious question mark in his head
