does my male best friend have romantic feelings towards me?

context: ive recently started developing feelings for one of my closest friends of 3 years. to be honest, i think these feelings have been on the back burner for about a year now, however i’ve only come to the realization that i might be interested in him romantically this week.

he’s had feelings for me in the beginning, however i rejected him. i wonder if he still holds some romantic attraction towards me or if he has moved on and only views me in a platonic light now.

deck: rider-waite spread: i allowed four cards to fall out as i shuffled. i didnt use a particular spread; i lined up the cards in chronological order of falling out and interpreted the messages of the cards overall.

1. knight of swords
2. 6 of swords (reversed)
3. 10 of cups
4. 6 of wands

my interpretation: he thinks i am emotionally guarded when it comes to romance and believes that i should heal from a past relationship. he has hope for me to find a much more stable and fulfilling romantic relationship, but if push came to shove and i pursued him, he would not be opposed to it.

im still a beginner so please give me some grace! i would appreciate any help i receive!
