ive been crushing on my best friend and i told them about 5 months ago and everything was fine and nothing changed. but more recently theyve been expressing the fact that they want to be in a relationship and it makes me feel a bit jealous. they also think that i dont want to date them because im aroace. im pretty sure they dont like me like that, but havent confirmed or denied because they havent reciprocated but havent rejected me either. and a few nights ago i had a dream where they laid on my shoulder and told me to do anything i wanted and i gave them a tight hug and expressed my feelings for them again and they accepted, and i wish it was real, and the day after i told a friend that i was gay in joking manner and he said he already knew and assumed that me and my best friend were dating, and i told him he doesnt like me like that and when i said it, it kinda broke my heart. idk what to do now, i kinda just want advice
