What should I tell this man?

well you could tell him i mean i know what your going through i went through it too the same thing just about everything and i told him i liked him but i mean he likes me too but we both decided not to date because we were such good friends, i would start asking him for advice or start telling him about this guy you have been talking to, and pay close attention to his farcical expressions, and that's the way you can tell if he really truly likes you.
