does my friend like me?

there were also these little moments that just felt really cute and endearing. like, one time he randomly started sending me pictures of different hairstyles, asking which one i thought would suit him best. and then, right after, he sent me a selfie showing off his new haircut and asked, “what do you think?” like he genuinely wanted my opinion.


another time, he sent me a bunch of pictures of himself that he wanted to post on instagram, and he asked me to help him choose a caption. he said he wanted to get my thoughts first before uploading anything.


and just last week, it was my birthday. he texted me to say happy birthday and told me he had been working a part-time job recently. he said he used some of that money to get me a gift, but i’d have to wait until we meet in person because he wants to give it to me himself.

he seriously needs to stop messing with me and making me delusional unless he's also into me. cuz i don't think this is normal between two male friends lol
i think showing affectionate like that between friends is possible. but in your case, because you hooked up, it means something different
