writes:So I have a good friend who I used to have a FWB relationship with a long while back. But then I started having feelings for him but when I asked if he felt the same he said he just wanted to be friends. After that we were a little more distanced but we were still decent friends. That was a year ago. I found out recently that at the time I started asking about his feelings he was in the middle of pursuing someone else. Lately, though, it seems like things are a little different between us. We're both flirty people, and in spite of our history, he is still there for me, but he wasn't usually very good about checking in or reaching out on his own, which was most of the reason we grew apart. But lately things have been different. I told him about some of the pretty major things I have going on and he's been regularly reaching out to check on me. There have also been moments where he's held my hand for a little too long or made jokes about me being interested in him, and when I tease him for being uncharacteristically chivalrous, he says he makes an effort to do those kinds of things, especially for me. He knows about some of the other guys I've been interested in, and that I got out of a relationship two months ago. But I'm not sure if these changes in behavior are just him being a better friend and he feels like he can safely tease me about liking him because I've mentioned interest in other people, or if he's actually interested. I don't want to ask, though, because I don't want to make things weird. Any suggestions on figuring out where he stands? Am I reading too much into his behavior?

 u might be reading to much on his behaviour if hes developing feelings for u let him spell it out like u did but dont assume that maybe ur building a relationship you might end up getting hurt He may say later on that u assumed alot and had illusions of him indicating that he liked u so wait for him to come out directly and say what he really wants
