I have this situation... He really is my best friend I know he's in love with me. He's told me, I feel badly though because he's a wonderful guy and so sweet yet I'm not attracted to him at all. Basically for me I like to be close to him and hug him and stuff, because of my need for physical contact with another human being. Growing up my family was very close and hugged and touched all the time. I have family love for him, and that means he gets hugs and touches from me. Sometimes when I've had a hard day I just want him to hold me...it's comforting, it's because he makes me feel safe. Sometimes I feel badly about doing those things because they may confuse him... anyhow, I'm not saying Brenda feels the same way I do. The only way to know for sure is to ask her, if you're such good friends it will be ok no matter what the outcome. *HUGS*
