First, here's some history so you don't feel out of the loop for the rest of the story.
Me and him have been best friends since the first time we talked about 4 years ago, in high school. We met through friends. I started to have feelings for him, but he didn't for me. I let it go, and we moved on, just being the best friends we always were. Everyone knew I was his best friend, and that he was mine. His girlfriends would think we were messing around, but we never have. He has never been ashamed of me, and never been afraid to show his affection to me ( hugs, fore head kisses, arm around me etc.).
So now, our friendship has overcome many things, and here we are.
I have pretty much gotten over the fact that me and him are just going to be friends you know? I decided that our friendship was more important than some silly relationship. Or at least that's what I told myself, so that it wouldnt be so awkward. I almost numbed my feelings for him.
Until last Friday. He lives about an hour away in the town I used to live in. He said he wanted to come visit me so we could watch a movie together. Ofcourse I wanted him to come see me, and I wanted to see him, so he came. We spent the whole day together and for some reason, things felt different. It wasnt like every other day we had spent together over the years. It was like there was an added chemistry. An added feeling. I couldnt tell if it was just me, or if he felt it too.
The kicker was when we were in the movie. We have watched MANY movies together, alone. However, during this one, he kept shaking his legs, and biting his lip, he seemed really anxious. It was weird. When I got scared in the movie I jumped and grabbed his hand. No intention of holding it, it was just a reaction. He laughed and just looked at me. He asked if I was okay. I replied : " yes" and I let go before things got weird.
After the movie we were walking outside, and he put his arm around me. I was cold so I obliged. He kissed me on the forehead. I looked up at him, and asked "hey whats up with you tonight?". He said " Nothing *******, I'm just super glad you're my best friend, and I love you."
When We got into the car, I sat down first, and he leaned into the car... and the way we were sitting, we had a moment. Or maybe it wasnt a moment, I really dont know. I just know we stayed in those positions for a good minute and he just stared at me. His eyes all sparkly, and big. Just when I thought we were going to kiss, he broke the stare and sat down, and turned the music on.
I'm deffinitely not mad, about anything. I think it was super cute and I will always love him. I always compare boyfriends to him, I dont mean to but I do. My story with him, is like the movie "My Best Friends Wedding." We always hold eachother high in our books to other relationships. I would never trade our relationship in, but I need clarity.
I just dont understand why he does things that way, and then says platonic things, you know? I just dont know if it's possible that he thinks I dont have feelings for him anymore since about a year ago, I said I was over him, because he said he didnt have those feelings for me then. So maybe he's afraid to say anything? Any help will be appreciated. I really need it guys! Thank you in advance. <3

Aw, you sound sweet and so does he! It's hard to say just based on that one experience if he's interested or not. Maybe you can hang out again soon and see if there is similar chemistry??
Good luck - I'll be rooting for you!
1It sounds like this guy always took and interest in you.
I would honestly flip a lid if my boyfriend had a girl-friend who he would kiss on the head and put his arm around. In my opinion that's stuff that should be kept in the relationship and I'm sure many of his girlfriends felt very intimidated. So for future reference, try not to get too close to guy friends who are taken.
Aside from that, he sounds like he really does like you but is scared to screw up the friendship. The fact that he initiated the movie and was nervous the entire time really says that to me. I think it's something you should take slow. I'm sure if he really wants to ask you out he'll get over his fear and do it.
2It sounds to me like he was testing the waters to see if he felt anything for you. And I don't think he did.
Kissing on the forehead is a total big brother or dad move - not romantic at all, especially not as a first kiss.
I think he was bored or lonely and wanted to see if there was anything there . . .I wouldn't get too excited about it. If he likes you, he would have liked you long ago when you first met.
3Honestly, no. Eventually someone wants something more out of the friendship and other doesn't.
