Why was he being so close...?

Question

I have a best guy friend who I really like, we are 17 and 18.

We both stayed over at a friends house with two others, the other night. We drank a bit, then sat on the floor in sleeping bags watching a film. We were a little tipsy.

My guy friend told me to go give him a hug, because i was looking depressed. I did, then laid resting my head on his lap and semi fell asleep during the film.

Everyone but us two fell asleep. We laid down next to each other underneath our sleeping bags, and as soon as the light went off, I heard him move his hand closer to me. I was curious as to why he did this, so moved mine closer to his. He immediately put his hand on mine, and moved a little closer. We fell asleep together like this.

A few hours later we got woken up by the dog, he woke up, made a huffing noise, and suddenly shuffled right up close to me and buried his head in my neck. I stroked his hair for ages and then he held my hand again. Several hours passed where we had arms round each other, he stroked my back and snuggled his face on my hand.

Everyone else gradually got up, (took pictures of us without us knowing haha) and left. We fell asleep again for a while, at one point he woke up when I let go of his hand and turned over with my back to him, so he put his arm round me and snuggled up to my back.

We were awake by now and we knew what was happening, he held my hand again close to his face, kissed my hand, then we laid there with our heads together talking about random stuff quietly before we got up.

I'm completely in love with this guy, who is leaving for university in 2 weeks. he's known i liked him for 2 years now, this has happened before too.

What does all this mean? Its breaking my heart as I so nearly managed to get over him but I can't. I'm so confused, does this mean he likes me, even just finds me attractive, or was he just using me?

Answer 1

It doesn't sound as if he is using you. It sounds as if he really likes you but maybe is too shy to come out and tell you in words. Really the two of you sound cute but the only way to find out for sure is to ask him. Even if it turns out he doesn't like you in that way you won't have to feel embrarrassed for asking him as he'll be away at university.  

Answer 2

Just ask him if he likes you.  The worst that can happen is he will say no and leave for college.  The best that can happen is he will say he does like you and you may be able to start a great relationship with him.  Don't waste another minute!

Answer 3

well it seems like this guys also likes you as much as you like him so don't be too late as you have two week only.. you better tell him that you really like him and ask if he also likes you. because if two people are best friends they just don't fool around..uhmm i read it and find romantic as in movies..i'm sure he likes you and all the best for both of you!!
