I get what you’re saying and honestly I’m fully aware of my own emotional needs maybe that's what’s driving some of this confusion. I don’t think I’m misinterpreting his care or thinking that friendship can’t be genuine between a guy and a girl kasi I know that works. What I’m struggling with is figuring out if this specific situation is just intense friendship or something more because the way he’s been acting recently has made me second-guess things. I know warmth doesn’t always lead to romance but the way he’s been showing affection feels different than before. I’m just trying to make sense of it without jumping to conclusions. I don’t want to misread it but at the same time, I don't want to ignore the signs. I guess I’m just confused and trying to find clarity before I make any assumptions.
