My friend that I met last year barely touched me, I was always the one to ask for a hug and for a simple hand shake! Well, this year, He is always holding out his hand for me to take and won't let it go until we have to and is hugging me almost every time we see each other. I really like him and there was a rumor going around that he liked me to, so I asked a friend of both of ours to ask him if he liked me. He said that he thought I was a great friend and thought that I was really cool, but that he didn't like me that way. The thing is that he doesn't do any of the stuff he does with me to his other friends, not even his best friend. Should I believe him on the fact he likes me as only a friend or should I go with my gut and go with he likes me? Advice Please!
