Hi. To begin with, I've never been close to a guy in my life, so understanding one is a bit difficult for me. I met this guy through an online game, and we added each other on social media and chat frequently, but it's not flirty or romantic. Just friendly banter. However, we talk a lot. Almost all night at times. We got to the point where he leans on me for emotional support and shares parts of his life that require a lot of trust. I like him a lot, but I'm not sure if he feels the same way or if he only thinks of me as his best friend. However, he recently began teasing me and referring to me as a "dork." He checks in on me throughout the day if I'm not active most of the time and responds to my messages in seconds. The thing that confuses me is that I assume he is only doing it out of kindness because I do the same for him. Or, at the very least, I started this whole thing by texting him throughout the day to check in on him and writing him good morning messages first every day. Do guys go out of their way for such things for a girl best friend? I don't want him to know I like him either, because even if that's not the case, I still want to maintain our friendship, and I'm afraid that if he knows I like him (if I haven't made it clear enough), it will make things awkward between us. Do guys appreciate good morning messages? Is it annoying for guys if he doesn't like me? He doesn't seem to mind them and wishes me back all the time, but he never really writes them first.. Thanks everyone.
