So I noticed that my guy friend was giving off a lot of body language signs that he was interested in me in addition to saying flirtatious things such as “am I special to you?”, “are you going to miss me?” and fishing for compliments by asking what I think of him. I tried giving him the benefit of the doubt and texted him (for the first time) safe travels before his flight, we chatted and had a good chat then he left to pack and didn’t reply to the rest of the convo. It’s been a week and still haven’t heard of him. Lots of friends told me that he probably knows you like him and he seeks your attention to boost his ego. He is actually my brother’s best friend and bro told me that he for sure doesn’t like you that way because he knows what his type is. Anyways, I feel like a fool, I feel played, I feel dumb, lots of negative emotions…. Should I confront him when he comes back or should I just stop interacting with him altogether when I see him and not create drama?
TLDR – guy friend flirts, doesn’t make a move, I feel played and dumb for falling for this, should I confront / say something or let it go?

So he might not make a move because he’s your brothers best friend. You could always ask him out or something and see how that goes if you’re interested?
Might not put weight into what your brother is telling you about this cause he may not want his sister and best friend getting together.
It’s hard to say that you are not his type to be honest. Most guys out here thought we had types until we meet some women. So before cutting him off or doing anything I think you should hear it from him.
Sometimes we try to act cool around the people we like and we might take it too far. Maybe he doesn’t want your brother to know or something..
*So, are you going to do something about it, or just throw around stupid jokes and puns instead?*
He’s probably anxious and has no idea how to approach you correctly. He’s overthinking and making a fool of himself.
