He likes you obviously because you think things are going well right? So trust your instincts and don't let anyone dissuade you. Good luck!

I do feel like we're becoming closer friends, but since this other friend said what he did, I wonder if that's all it will become? I hear guys around me all the time saying "
I'd never date a girl who ______" or
"I'd never date a girl who had ______" and I always think "
Well, I do ____" or "
I have ____". It seems like no matter what, I don't meet anyone's standards for various reasons. Granted, with most of them, I don't care and they don't exactly meet mine (too shallow, etc), but it seems to be a general problem. I have self esteem issues and social anxiety as it is, and hearing these things from people who know me pretty well doesn't help at all. Now I feel like I constantly second guess everything this guy says, wondering if he's just playing or if I'm misinterpreting things or if I'm actually right.
