Confused about my best friend fancying me or not.

[gabriella777]

We're very good friends, there's been very little (if anything) flirting or hinting anything. and we're friends. we tell each other everything etc.

So today, we had this conversation and I'm confused! I don't fancy him I dont think. I completely trust him but don't feel attracted to him.

anyway this is part of our conversation and I need help reading in between the lines!

 

(we were joking about how my taste in guys isn't the best)

Him:

You should change it so I'm your perfect guy

 

Me:

I'll try you want to be my perfect guy?

 

Him:

I already am but you haven't realised it yet

 

Me:

I'm in denial again?

 

Him:

yes

 

Me:

lol ok, thanks for opening my eyes

 

Him:

no problem

I hope you're being serious

 

Me:

about you opening my eyes? well....i dont actually think my eyesight is bad (we also joke about my eyesight being bad)

 

Him:

what about me finding your perfect guy?

 

Me:

I don't think you are right but you never know what happens

 

Him:

oh

 

Me:

there there (hug emoticon)

 

Him:

That wont help

 

Me:

a hug always helps. are you being serious btw?

 

Him:

no it doesn't

 

Me:

chocolate?

 

Him:

that does

 

Me:

always

 

so....was he joking? it was weird and I didnt know what to think of it. How serious he was or if he was simply joking? or did I misunderstood something and he meant something else?

Help?

I have no clue. You cant see someones face through a chat screen so anything seen on the internet is interpretable as you have no way of seeing body language.

Yeah second that ^

 

You never know if he's just joking or what.

Thanks for your replies!

I'll just assume that he is joking then

Actually I think he was serious as I have been him and had that conversation, the part where he changes tone after your chocolate comment looks like the kind of defence mechanisim I and others have used to try and avoid what was turning into a bad situation. Also when you asked if he was being serious he deliberatly didn't answer. He likes you and you need to consider whether you could like him as more than friends, if not things might get a little rough for your friendship from here on in.
