My best friend.
I am a 17 year old female, I have an 18 year old male best friend. We've been best friends since the 3rd grade, so when we were 5 ish, I believe. I'm told on a daily basis that everybody knows we like each other except for us and that our friendship resembles, to a tee, Billy and Jane of the tv show Jane by Design. We would do anything for each other, he helps me with any problem I may encounter and I would help him with any problem as well. I was the one who helped him through his first and only heart break and I'll never forget the one time he stayed up til 3 in the morning and talked to me when I was crying my eyes out because my parents were fighting. Lately, things have been kinda awkward, we still talk and everything but he's been kinda quiet, he speaks in a quieter voice, he doesn't laugh loudly. Everyday he goes to his best guy friend's locker which is right across from mine, when his friend is done they walk to mine, when I'm done, we all walk to his then walk out to the parking lot together where my best friend will drive me home and his friend will go to his car and head home. Today, my friend and his friend went to his locker without me so I thought that maybe he was busy, so I decided to walk home. He calls me halfway to my house and asks where I am, I told him I'm walking and that it's okay and he said he was so so sorry that he walked to his locker without me, he had to call in to work and ask off. I told him that him making me walk for one day won't make him a bad friend, and he said that it makes him a terrible friend because he didn't tell me he was calling in and that he made me feel like I wasn't wanted. I told him that it wasn't a big deal, he said it is a big deal because it's cold and he's lonely and he's so used to me being in his passenger seat next to him that he hates being alone in his car now. Next thing I know, after we hang up, he's driving up behind me opening the door of his car for me to get in. I told my best friend and she said that not just a regular best friend would do that and that he cares about me. What do you think? Thanks!

i think that before when things were awkward, maybe he was getting shy about his growing feelings for you. i mean it is obvious that he does care about you in one way or another. it sounds like he goes through a lot to keep you happy. like any friend would. but i can see what you mean about your relationship being like jane and billys. when i watched that show i would always think that they were secretly in love with one another. you need to figure out what your feelings are for him and maybe try to figure out how he feels about you. dont worry about ruining your friendship or any of that bull crap. if its meant to be it will be. if not then will it really be that hard to go back to being just friends? i dont think so.
the point is; you only have one life, if you were to die tomorrow, would you be happy with the life you lived? if you find yourself thinking that you would be happier if you were dating your best friend then you should diffidently take a chance on him.
good luck <3

Your best friend is right. That is definetly not normal best friend behaviour. I would say he does like you. and to take a chance on him. He seems like a very nice lad. and If he is that upset about you just walking.. then he difinetly cares about you.
and i think by the fact he stated he likes you in his passenger seat beside him. states that he likes being near you. which is definetly a good sign.
