I have been friends with this guy since freshman year of high school (9 years) and within the last 3 or so years, we’ve become very close. Over the pandemic / the last year, our friendship has only grown stronger and closer.
During lockdown, we FaceTimed every week for hours, and texted often throughout the week. Now that we’re both vaccinated, we’ve been hanging out 2-3 times a week, all in 1-on-1 situations.
Our friendship is extremely emotionally close, and we share almost everything with each other. He has told me multiple times, “you’re the only person I talk to about this stuff”, “I don’t talk to anyone else this way”, “you’re the only one who knows that”, etc. Any time we’re together 1-on-1, we end up spending HOURS talking about personal and deep things. We’ve often sat outside of my house in his car until 2/3am talking.
Recently, I’ve noticed that he’s become more touchy with me, but it’s in ways that I’m confused whether it’s platonic/friendly, or if it’s more. Ex: when we’re sitting in the car, he’s rested his elbow on my knee, he tapped his fist against my leg while he was talking, we compared hand sizes (I know, cringe), and other very brief and random moments where there’s physical contact.
A lot of his actions seem to have a flirty undertone as well. He had a baseball in his car that I was playing with the other night, and he told me I could keep it. He showed me how to throw random baseball pitches and how to hold the ball. Another time, I was playing with his baseball hat and he told me I could keep it (and I was like, “why would I want that?” Lol). He also always walks around to my passenger side door and opens it for me when I get out (but I honestly just think that that’s him being polite).
There are other actions/things that make me question whether he is interested in me at all, but that’s the gist of it.
What should I do regarding my own feelings if I can’t get a good read on his? I really don’t want to mess up our current best friendship unless there’s a very good chance he feels similarly
