My best friend of 10 years hit on my by putting his hand on my UPPER thigh, playing with my hands, holding my hands and calling them soft, putting his hand on my butt, and his arm around me from behind. I’ve always liked him (keep in mind he lives about 1,200 miles away from me but I visit 5 times a year for my family out there) but I don’t know if these are his real feelings. We talked about it and he said he liked me but didn’t want to ruin our friendship. I get that. I was prepared to move on. But now he’s messaging me every day and keeping the conversation going along with flirting. What changed? Did anything change? I think his friends said something to him about being an idiot lol—- because they told me he’s liked me for a really long time.
