He asks me if im ok or not everytime 3.he plays truth or dare with me 4.he told me to wait up when im walking alone so he can talk to me 5. I joked once with him telling him I like him he turned red I told him it was a joke I think it was embarrassment Idk if he likes me or sees me as a friend he said he will buy me a drink soon ?

Hallo

I don´t think you are “delulu”. I can imagine that you are confused because your close friend is showing som romantic signs.

From what you described: he was ready to drop everything to hang out, he checks if you’re okey often, he wants to talk with you, he plays truth or dare and he turned red when you joked about liking him.

This can mean that you matter to him, he cares about you emotionally, he enjoys being around you, he´s comfortable and a bit playful with you and people don’t usually blush like that for no reason.

It is a good chance he does like you. But he can also see you as a close friend og might be scared to mess that up too.

You said: i´m scared if I ask him, I’ll ruin the friendship. That’s a valid fear. But here’s the truth: feelings don’t just disappear because you ignore them and they usually get stronger.

So you can either:

Keep it inside —> stay safe, but confused
Take a small risk —> it can lead to awkwardness, or a better relationship

Don’t suddenly confess everything to him and don’t put pressure on him to answer right away. That’s what can make things weird.

You already kind of tested it with a joke. Now you can go more real. Say something like this: I feel like I might actually like you a bit, or: im not even joking anymore, I think I like you. Good luck with your crush!
