writes:Hey all. Simple question. I have known this man for 3 years and for about 2 and a half of those years we rarely saw each other but chatted amicably when we did.Nowadays we are closer than before, we are not dating each other, but we have found out we have mutual connections, and of course it set us off talking more than ever.He has never been a touchy feely person, he is very detached with most of the people he meets but unfailingly polite. Then there is the way he is with his mother. He keeps her at arms length and she says he is not at all affectionate with her and once when she asked him for a hug, he told her he does not like physical contact which is odd, because lately, he has been touching me, not intimately, but has been standing closer, and stroking my clothes like i was a pet and once brushed my hair back off my face. And he used to hate me messing with his hat, which he rarely has off in this weather lol, but now when we are teasing each other, i pull it over his eyes and instead of shying away and fighting me off by wafting his arm at me to stop me like he used to, he lets me and then just gives me a grin.Not being a very tactile person myself, i was surprised he let me. I don't mind admitting i do find him attractive. And also lately i have found him staring at me quite intensely. I cannot explain why i think they are intense but he holds eye contact for a long time, and being quite a shy person myself, i look away in embarrassment.I keep thinking he might like me more than a friend, since he treats me differently than everyone else of his acquaintance but then self doubt creeps in and i think i am imagining things and that he is just more comfortable with me than others.Do you think he may like me more than a friend??

 Well for starters he definetaly feels very comfortable around you from what you just wrote, therefore this is a good sign that he likes you more than a friend.
You say he is not the affectionate type therefore he may not want to come out and ask you out as he doesnt have the confidence to do so.
Why dont you ask him out for a drink and maybe try and flirt lightly with him and show him that you are interested.
Goodluck.
