I’ve been friends with this guy for over a year. We are best friends and see each other often. A few months ago he kissed me at his house when we were drunk. He confessed feelings for me and we had a good night and I also told him I liked him. I never thought it would happen like that or that i would fall for him, but he’s a great person so I obviously caught feelings in that moment. The next day comes and we don’t mention it, we text a little and that’s it. We don’t talk for a few days and then he comes over again and we cuddle and hold hands but we still don’t mention it. A couple weeks goes by and I’m dying so I mention it to him and we talk about it and he tells me he likes me a lot but he can’t have a relationship right now for a lot of personal reasons, like his family is very strict religiously and won’t allow him to date anyways. But he still says he wants to talk to me and he likes me. We continue to hang out he hold my hand all the time, kisses my forehead, compliments me etc….. we’ll quarantine happens we don’t see each other for a month then he invites me to go camping with a couple of our other friends. I get there we reunite and we drink. One things leads to another we confess feelings again and we talk about a lot. He tells me he really likes me, we kiss, and end up sleeping in a hammock together (we didn’t do anything sexual) it’s hard to remember a lot because I was drunk but my friend tells me we were looking at each other all cute and just acting like a couple. He also told me he loved me twice that night (while drunk) randomly, it sure is weird to say I love you to someone you’ve passed the friend zone with but I know he’s probably not in love with me lol. It’s weird I know he is not ready for a relationship so I’m not sure how to deal with this. The next day he gets a text from his boss saying he has to leave and come to a meeting and so we go the whole day knowing he is leaving at the end and I could just tell something was wrong, he barely talked to me all day and just seemed sad. I hugged him like twice both times my doing. It just felt depressing and he was just very nervous and awkward. When he left that night I hugged him and said bye and told him to be safe and that I loved him, he said he loved me too and he left. The next morning I messaged him saying I missed him and he said he missed me too and hoped he could see me soon and I told him that if he needed to talk about anything EHHHEEMMM or needed anything to just tell me. I said I didn’t want him to be sad, I knew he was. And he just left me on read this morning. I am just so weirded out and confused by this man. What should I do? What should I say to him? How should I approach this moving forward?
