I think stormy is right. If you look for evidence for anything you will find it. Good or bad.

If you want your therapist to be your friend, I think that's okay. I think you should tell him and talk about it.

I really do think that it's natural to have these thoughts about therapists. They are usually very kind to us, and sometimes that feels really really good.

It's not that other people aren't kind to us, and, of course, I don't know your story, but sometimes with the therapist is easier to allow ourselves to feel that kindness.

My therapist and I have seen each other in restaurants. It's disturbing to see him free-range like that. I want him to live in his office I guess.

He did not acknowledge me. I was grateful. I was with some people and I really didn't want to have to explain who he was.

Also, it confirmed the fact that he was going to hold my secrets. For me, it was the most professional, kind and disciplined thing he could have done.
