I don’t know what this means! I’ve been friends with this guy for 7 years and we’re very close. We talk on the phone every night and discuss our feelings and problems. The other night we were talking about soul mates. And he said he didn’t think their was one person for him. And I said you mean like you can’t find someone who can speak to your soul, but make you laugh and in the same breath? To which he replied well, the only person is you, so unless you clone yourself…and then he trailed off.
I really don’t know what to think. I’ve shown interest towards him in the past and he has always turned me down. I don’t know what to think…

He’s left the door open for you. There are 5 billion people on this Earth and that means statistically there is no such thing as a soul mate. You’d have several. I know movies and books have told you that there is one, but relationships take work and the fallacy of a soul mate is just sugar coated happy ending in a movie. ASK HIM OUT! Good luck to you both. š
I believe that he’s into you. Likereally into you, but maybe he’s scared of losing you as a best friend. If things don’t work out, he wouldn’t only lose a girlfriend he would lose his best friend as well. You need to reassure him.
