Alright, so I have this "straight" friend whom ive been friends with for a couple of months, and I dont know if he's into me. I'm a straight guy, and id totally be okay if he's into me. I just want some of y'all to give me some advice because I dont want to ask him straight up and make things awkward. I put straight in quotation mark because he said he wasn't interested in girls and lacked a sexuality. He said he couldn't see himself dating a girl; moreover, when I asked him if he could see himself dating a guy, his answer was no. He's been a really good friend, too much of a good friend to the point I think he's treating me like his boyfriend. He's bought me lunch and baked me cookies. I remember one time, I had an interview on campus and forgot my tie. I texted him and told him about it, and he just replied asking what type of dress shirt I was wearing and went to campus to bring me a tie. Whenever we'd hang, he would look straight into my eyes and smile. One time during Spring break, we happened to travel to the same city during the same week. I texted him and see if he'd wanna hang, I got a response right away that said "where are you? I'll pick you up right now. We'll go to my favourite restaurant. You know! The one I always talk about?". He's always talked about that restaurant and how it'd really cool to bring me to that restaurant. He then uber me back to downtown to my place (he paid for my uber). He always texts me back right away. I'm talking bout within 5 seconds I'd receive a text back from him. One time I walked him back to his place after school, and he invited me inside insisting that he should make me something to bring home to eat. He made me a burrito and had me bring home. He's a really good cook. He always talks about how I should come over one day and make me dinner. I also remember seeing one of his snaps, it was a snapshot of texts exchanged between him and his sister. The snap basically showed a text of him saying how he only had one friend, and he liked him. I am not sure if his "one friend" is me. He always makes time for me whenever I ask him to hang. Like if I text him and ask him to meet in 10 minutes. He'd always says yes. As I'm typing this im realizing his prob just a really good friend, but what do you guys think?
I personally would say he sounds at least interested in you. Being that he seems to drop everything for you and go out of his way to get you a tie, for example. Does he know you are totally straight? If not it could be potentially troublesome if a time ever comes and he was interested in you. Of course there is always the possibility that he is really a great person but I would try to pay more attention to the things he does and see how he acts. You can always come back here with more information and I'm sure many of us would be glad to help. Overall, I would make sure you don't lead him on, if he thinks you could be attracted to him.
It does seem he cares for you a lot, but maybe that's because he doesn't have many other relationships to occupy his time. When he said he didn't have a sexuality, did he mean "asexuality"? That is possible but very rare; sometimes people really mean low libido. Overall, I don't think what you describe has sounded like romantic attraction. He might just be lonely. Also, if you feel like he's bending over backwards to help you, you might try and politely not let him do/pay for everything.
I have a girlfriend at the moment and he knows it. In fact, we’ve even met up one time to have lunch together. He’d always ask me about my girlfriend, and how she’s been.
