My best friend of 15 years has been acting very strange lately. I am totally comfortable with him. We grew up together and I know everything about him. And vice-versa. The other day, we went out to eat, something we do all the time, but our conversation was strange. He kept telling me how great of a girl I am and how he wishes he could find a girl like me. I figured it was just his way of saying that he wants a girlfriend he could be comfortable around. I ignored it. But then, when we were at the park working with a volunteer organization we both are very involved in, I noticed a guy I thought was cute. I casually mentioned that he was attractive (something we have done forever) and his reply was, "Yeah. If you like that serial killer look." Then, a few days later, he was getting ready to leave for a few weeks. His sister is getting married in Ireland and he is the best man. But before he left, he kept saying how he would miss me and wished I was going. He mentioned that he wondered if he or I would ever get married and then casually threw in that "wouldn't it be funny if we married each other?" The last thing happened when I dropped him at the airport. He hugged me, not a friendly hug, a long hug. And kissed my forehead. Something he has only done once before. After I found out my brother died in Iraq. He has been very attentive to me recently. Im confused!!
Am I misreading the signs, or is he trying to tell me something? Im totally lost!!! Would it be appropriate to ask if something is up? Or would it ruin our friendship if I am wrong?
