Could anyone explain about the meaning of feeling is mutual? I think he likes me well I like him and he knows that, I suppose. We're friends and known for almost a year. Joking, flirting and sharing stories we do when we meet and yes I feel an attraction between us and I think he feels the same too. Tells me he likes me several times but different occasions. Yesterday we're talking and after the hamburger that he bought for us, I feel sleepy I said, he said should we go for a nap together, I said yeah you wish, and he looked at me, said you and I have this relation, hard to describe but you like me and the feeling is mutual. He said twice. Instead of saying he likes me why would he say in a lengthy way? We are in a difficult place because of my boyfriend and he probably don't want to risk our friendship. Is this wrong, folks?
Thank you!

So if you said I can't stand the taste of cumin and someone else said 'the feeling is mutual' , they aren't talking as much about a feeling per se rather than agreeing that they feel the same about a statement you said.
In your story, you didn't say something that he responded to with this phrase but instead told you how he feels and is stating as a fact that he knows you feel the same way about him.
If you are asking if it is wrong to have a boyfriend but find you have feelings growing for another, having the feelings is not wrong. What would be wrong is attempting to carry on intimate relationship with both guys at once IF both are monogamous. [ Dragonflymagic's advice column | Ask Dragonflymagic A Question ]
