The reason I put straight in quotes is that although there has never been anything explicit said or done, I do feel like there is some flirtation between the two of us. Little things, like the way he looks at me or the fact that whenever we go out in groups and such, he insists on sitting/being next to me, tells me there might be something there. Also, we are constantly play fighting and doing silly things that children do when they are trying to flirt and not be obvious about it. A piece of me wants to take the chance and tell him how I feel, but my reputation is on the line and I do not want to ruin the strong friendship that we have. I'm also afraid that all the things I considered flirtations are just misinterpreted. Am I barking up the wrong tree here??what should I do??
