OK, been friends for half a year. Really cool lad. Helps me with a projects time to time. However, he has a gf and I have a bf. Recently, he went away for a few weeks and hadn't seen me for a while but when he saw me after few weeks, he asks did you miss me? I said, everyday, he laughed and called me liar. Also, asked me if I wanted to go for a drink afterwards I said yeah ok. We've been out for a drink twice only for few hours as he says you're my friend. We hugged and kissed on the cheek after the drinks and said goodnight. To me, I'm just thinking he might fancy me slightly bit even though he keeps says we're best of friends. When I jokingly tell him you do like me don't you, he replies yes with a flirty smile. So guys, why would he ask if i want to go for a drink and did you miss me stuff?? Nothing's happened but he does say he likes a space sometimes away from her gf and all but not in a nasty way but in a normal way, I told him, I'm exactly like you. So, Please help! Are we in the wrong and not allowed to feel like this or what?? Thankyou for the answers.

Dragonflymagic answered Saturday June 10 2017, 7:18 pm: Question should be whether you like him in that romantic bf/gf way. Right now the status is friends and I don't know his mind. Maybe he does like you as more than friends. But his answer that yes he likes you could too easily mean he likes you as his friend. There are different kinds of 'liking' someone. We use that word too often and then get misleading answers back. So instead of do you like me, the question if you are interested in him as more than a friend should be, "Are you interested in me as just a friend or maybe as more than a friend. I am not sure because some things you say, I interpret as flirting."
Also, there is flirting just for fun and for serious cus the person is romantically interested.
Flirting for fun applies to everyone, married or not, single or dating. Some do so simply to keep up their skills in flirting and others cus its so fun, even if not serious about the person you are flirting with. When it is good close friends of the opposite sex, it is safer to flirt with them and not be mistaken for being serious. He couldn't really do this with a strange lady who doesn't know him as she might think he was hitting on her.
So you can't even trust the flirting.
It is also possible to be in relationship with someone but then someone else comes along whom you finally realize you have better rapport with and more in common than the person you are currently with. Even if they may not be interested in return, this should be a sign to you that perhaps the person you are with is not right for you. Its best to choose a dating partner with the future in mind. Is this someone you can see yourself with the rest of your life? Is this the type of person who isn't afraid of that kind of commitment?
I interpret the following as just friendly, for fun flirting "he asks did you miss me? I said, everyday, he laughed and called me liar."
In fun flirting back, if a male friend said that, I'd retort back, "Yes, Liar liar pants on fire. Wouldn't you just love it if my pants burnt off. Oh what an eyeful you'd get then." and laugh back. [ Dragonflymagic's advice column | Ask Dragonflymagic A Question ]

Lucky you, I am a guy! And to me it sounds like he likes you. But you should ask him, not like you do. but more like:"do you like me more as your girlfriend?"
try that. to me it sounds like he likes you. but you'd only be asking this question if you like him. So i say, go ahead. ask him. whats the worse that could happen? (hopefully I didnt jinx you)
good luck!
