So ive known this guy since 8th grade. Ive had a crush on him since then too. Anyway in 8th grade I kissed him. He let me and blushed. We then went to 9th grade and switched schools. It wasnt until 11th grade when we were reunited. He let me kiss his cheek again even though he "seemed" uninterested. We were best friends throughout 11th and 12th grade. He would lay his head on my lap, let me wear his coat hug me every day ECT. We graduated and found each other again through social media. He was so excited to find me and talk to me again. He lives quite a few hours away and he wants to get together with me again and hang out, maybe get food. Anyway I am wondering if it is possible that he likes me but doesn't want to like me the way he does?

Why don't you ask? You're both old enough now to openly communicate with each other. If he doesn't want something romantic but you do, you're probably better off not interacting with him so you can move on to someone who is willing to like you in the same way.

I agree with Mocha. Communication is key in any relationship, just ask him how he feels. Good luck!

We were never in a relationship though...

A friendship is a form of a relationship. And in this case, it's still partially romantic if you ask me. If you can't talk about how you feel with someone, they're not someone you should trust with those feelings and/or you're not mature enough to handle anything romantic yet.

I have seen a lot of friends have friends that they are this close to, and sometimes someone has romantic intentions and sometimes they don't. The best way to find out for sure is to talk to him, rather than just trying to guess or read into his actions. If you bring it up and ask him about it, it might seem kind of awkward, especially if he says that he isn't interested, but I am sure that since you are good friends, your friendship will recover from any awkwardness. It is always better to just talk to someone about something rather than trying to guess about how they feel, that way it is less likely that either of you will be hurt.
