Dear Marsha,Dear Friend Crush,
It does sound to me that there is some sort of deep connection between the two of you. It may be that he finds you as his closest and dearest friend, or it may mean something more. The only real way to know the difference is to ask!
There is no rule book on how you have to ask, so I would suggest being playful/tactful about it since you are so scared to ask him outright. In other words, you can find out from him his true inner feelings without actually asking him directly.
If the situation arises, then point out to him how compatible the two of you are, or how someone made a comment about how cute you two would be together. You could talk to him about dating and what each of you think you would look for in another partner. You could ask him what others would think if the two of you started dating. Questions like these would give you a little insight as to whether or not he has feelings for you as well.
Pay close attention to his responses. If he is playful back, then he is probably interested in you just as you are in him. If he is hesitant or tries changing the subject, then he probably just thinks of you as a great friend.
This should ease your worry over losing the friendship with a simple direct question, yet at the same time give you all the answers you need.
Always,
Marsha
Okay girl. Obviously this guy likes you. If you don’t want your friendship to be ruined just asked him if he ever had or still does have feelings for you. I know he likes you because, he always texts you first. You video chat sometimes for hours on end. If you really like him you’ll take the chance in asking him. If he says no just blow it off like you never even asked and reply in a simple answer like “that’s fine.” or “I was just wondering.” GOOD LUCK (:
