I've always taken his opinion on anything and everything. But recently I've been feeling that maybe he sees me more than a best friend. We're both 19 and even though he moved like an hour away from our childhood area we still see each other and talk on the phone almost everyday. Now recently he's been saying his "I love you's" to me with more feeling. Everytime we end our conversations on the phone or in person he tells me, " I love you so much I can't wait til we get together again and have fun like always. I just love you so much." He tends to hug me for a few moments longer than before. He's more tender,gentle and listens to every problem I have. I love him I really do but as a friend and I've always seen him as just a friend. Plus I'm talking to someone that I'm interested and he knows that I am. But lately he's just been telling me that I should forget this guy, move on and get with someone who I know and trust that won't ever hurt me. He told me the other day, "Leave that guy for good! Don't even hear his side if the story. I know for a fact he's playing you. I know b/c I'm a guy." Etc. So the guy I'm talking to I'm really into him but lately he's been distant. We don't FaceTime, talk on the phone or text a lot like we used to. He lives 3 hrs from me so we haven't seen each other in person for the past 3 months we haven't been together b/c he's in the army . Well yeah and I've told my best friend the situation but I don't know if he's meaning it just to take advantage or does he mean this as in a way a best friend would watch out for their friend?

Your best friend is the support. If you like someone, go for it. Your best friend is jealous and likes you, you have to make it clear to him that you guys can only be friends.
