but sigh, yup once again, i wish we could just be more honest with one another. at least then i could understand all these feelings and not have to feel so damn confused.

The behavior is definitely not innocent, and I doubt you'll get closure until his behavior escalates or you confront him, unfortunately. And from these little incidents, it's hard to even ascertain WHY he's doing what he's doing; so who knows what his intentions are).

we're just good friends. but i suppose if there were ever we had met under different circumstances, we might have a chance at something.
i think it's not that i wish to start something, but i think more to understand the situation better.. at least to get some closure. i don't know, am i thinking too much, and if this really isn't innocent behavior, why can't he just be honest with me?

The problem is you are both in relationships. Is this something you're okay with? Do you care for your boyfriend? Are you okay with starting a relationship with a man who is married?
His behavior certainly doesn't seem innocent. If you are uncomfortable with it or don't want anything like that with him, just tell him to stop because you are uncomfortable.
Of course, if you DO want something, then that's a different story....
