Is this how some guys treat close friends?

I met this guy in our stats class a few months back, and we’ve been glued at the hip ever since. We hit the gym 2-3 times a week, grab tacos or iced coffee all the time, even did hiking together last month.

He does the sweetest little things too. He drops off my energy drink or gym shoes when I forget them, sat through 3 car test drives with me, sends me Marketplace links for stuff I want. Last week, we stayed up late playing video game, then we laid on his living room floor just talking about life.

So a month in, I told him I had a tiny crush and he said he only sees me as a friend. But he puts way more time into me than his other friends! Sometimes we’re lowk close that feel flirty. Guys, seriously what’s going on? Why go all out for a female friend if you don’t want romance? Is this just how some guys treat close friends?

this is just how guys are with their friends the reality is youve met an actual " nice guy" not the kind women are scared of but the kind that genuinely just appreciate your existence and dont expect or wnat anything from you. the crush will go away, and you'll end up with a guy friend for life. It's kind of a win.

Honestly it’s hard to tell. A lot of guys don’t have close women friends to use as a gauge. But from my limited experience yes, it’s rare but he can do all those things and not “like” you. Him not liking you can be anything from he’s not attracted to you to he might not want to ruin this friendship to he’s using you for emotional fulfillment that he not getting anywhere else at the moment(this is rather cynical but it does happen).
