Hello,
I think I'm in love with my best friend.
I've known him for quite a while now, our relationship remained purely platonic until about a few months ago. Everyone's always commenting about how good a couple we'd be or asking us if we're going out and such.

Whenever we're drunk lately, we've made out. He was my midnight kiss on new years eve. In my drunken haze I asked him what was happening between us and he said "oh, just casual ey" or something along those lines. He said he didn't want to be tied down on our last year of high school.

However we've been hanging out nearly every day in the past two weeks and it's hard not to get attached when you spend every other day on the phone with him, having 3 hour long conversations.

The last time we hung out he started holding hands with me. I was surprised because he never initiates any physical contact usually. He's also quite shy/laid back and I'm by far his best girl friend, he doesn't have many. I don't know, he gives out the biggest mixed signals ever. I have a feeling he doesn't really know what he wants either.

But we definitely have a "thing", if anything. What does everyone think? What do you think he feels for me?

It's driving me insane.

This is easier said than done, I know, but just be patient and see where things go. This is a tricky situation for you. It does sound like you guys have something going on, but if you push for a commitment too soon you could push him away. You're right, it doesn't sound like he knows what he wants. So give him some time to figure it out.
