Hello, friends. I'm very close friends with a guy who is an INFJ. We've been friends for a few years but I recently started to develop feelings for him. The trouble is, I can't figure out how he feels about me. I've thought about asking, but I don't want to make our friendship awkward.
He acts like he likes me because he seems to be nervous around me, is very protective of me, I catch him staring at me a lot, we'll have a few seconds of intense eye contact, he called me beautiful (which ive never heard him call anyone else before - I've heard beautiful is usually saved for someone special... Right or wrong?) and initiated the two of us hanging out a couple of times (usually we just hang out in a group) and has offered to help me with multiple things.
However, I'm receiving mixed signals because while he does all of this, he also acts like he doesn't like me sometimes. He'll intentionally avoid eye contact with me occasionally, looking at everyone else in the room while talking but me, he takes a long time to reply to my texts and usually replies with short answers (unless it called for a long answer) and sometimes doesn't even reply at all, hes extremely quiet around me when the two of us are left alone, he seems almost more extraverted around other girls. I don't know if this is an INFJ thing or a shy guy thing, but if anyone could help me out I'd appreciate it. Sorry this was so long!
