Idk it depends if he was joking or not, but for me when I like someone, I LIKE someone, u know? Like, I really like that person... I rarely ever just have a crush
Well if he was your true best friend , he would'nt treat you like shit he would treat you like a lady or one of "the guys" because he does'nt see you as more than a friend ,Just Do it ,don't think about it
