There is a friend I've met at college that I've started to grow closer to.
But he says things to me that I've never heard other people say to me:
+He wanted to go to the movies. I told him I could make it the other day and asked if it was okay. He told me he would go on the bus for 2 hours and 45 minutes one way if I really wanted to go with him.
+When we are walking side by side and approach the door, he'll quicken his pace and open the door wide open for me.
+When I said going to college was the best thing that ever happened to me, he said something like, "It's because you met me."
But he says other things that make me doubt that he does like me in that way:
-When he is surprised at how much we have in common he'll say, "Are we long lost brothers?"
I am severely doubting whether he likes me or is just trying to be older-brother/gentleman-like, or if he's just really fond of me as a friend. It doesn't help that I have no clue how a gay man or bisexual man would flirt or something. Heck, I don't even know his orientation (he didn't list it on facebook). He could be straight for all I know.
I wouldn't mind going out on a date with him, but I want to be sure this isn't all in my head.
I'm also a fully transitioned FTM (female to male) who has had top surgery and hormones. And he knows this. He's known me before and after the transition if that helps explain why he might be behaving this way.
