First year of college, still haven't had a friend that I call my "bestie" and tell them everything on my mind, so Yahoo!Answers, all of you guys will my best friend for now haha.
I have this guy friend (Asad), I don't really know if I like him to the point that I want a relationship with him, or if I'm just overwhelmed with having my first straight guy friend. Another thing I should announce about him is that he's SUPER modest. If anything sexual comes on TV (like passionate kissing, showing bras, someone putting on deodorant), he'll cover his eyes because he was just raised in that Muslim environment. He's not religious, but he can't break his childhood ways.
I told him that I kinda liked him while I was drunk like 2 months ago, and then I felt so awkward for the next week, and we just didn't talk. Then I decided to just lie and say that I wasn't into him at all, and I miss the friendship we had, and I hate that it's awkward, and surprise, surprise, Asad called me the next day, asking to "just hang out". He's given the point across "verbally" that he doesn't like me, but I just refuse to believe!
Everyone immediately assumes we're together because everytime we hang out, we are having the time of our lives, just picture a guy and a girl in constant laughter, usually one leaning on the other because they're laughing so hard, what would you assume? And last night, me and some of our other friends went to his dorm, and he kinda kicked the other two out, and as soon as it was just me and him we just started laughing, and he told me he loves when us two are together, where he can just be himself. And I kept saying I was going to leave (even though I didn't want to) and he kept telling me to just stay, and we ended up having a sleepover. It was so much fun, we did a photo shoot for facebook and all (taking over 40 pictures) and of course, the first comment was "holy s***, is that your girlfriend, Asad?"
I just don't know what to do? I feel as though I shouldn't keep hanging around with him, because I'm into him, and he's not into me, and I feel like I'm hurting myself, everytime he talks about this girl he possibly likes (he talks about how pretty she is, and I feel like I'm ugly compared to her). But then again, he is one of the best friends I could have, we laugh, we share stories (not secrets are anything), talk about everything. What do you think? Do you think I'm hurting myself? Or maybe he actually likes me? Or he'll come around to liking me? Or do you think I'll gradually get over him, and enjoy the friendship?
