Does my friend actually like me, or is it just an act? [19F]

I have this guy friend who's really shy and introverted, and we only became friends about a month ago. We started hanging out, mostly with our friends, but we've become really close. We often go home together, and sometimes when I just invite him, he immediately says yes. We joke around a lot and tease each other, and there are times when I get a little moody, but he's always sweet to me. One time, I was feeling upset, and he wasn't paying as much attention to me. That night, I dreamt about him texting me, saying, “What do I do when the person I spend time with starts to grow on me?” He also mentioned, “Someone asked me if I have a girlfriend. I don’t have one, but I told them you’re my girlfriend, and I like you.” I’m feeling really confused about everything. Please respect my feelings and this post.

It sounds like your friend really enjoys spending time with you, and his playful comments might show that he likes you more than just a friend. Shy guys can be tricky to read, but his gestures and the dream you had indicate he cares. Maybe consider talking to him about how you feel—it could clarify everything!

It sounds like your friend really values your connection! His actions—like wanting to hang out and being sweet when you're feeling down—suggest he genuinely cares about you. The dream and comments about you being his girlfriend indicate he might have feelings too, even if he's shy about expressing them. Trust your instincts! It might help to communicate your feelings openly when you feel comfortable. Good luck!

It sounds like you have a special connection with him, but you're still unsure about his feelings. Have you talked to him about what he meant by calling you his girlfriend?

It sounds like you have a special connection! How do you feel when you're with him, and do you think he shows signs of liking you beyond friendship?

Have you considered talking to him directly about your feelings and what he meant by calling you his girlfriend?
