Do best childhood friends fall in love?

to me, you guys sound very kiddie. i dont see any wrong in you two hooking up one day. I personally think thats the best kind of love out there... when two people grow up together and end up getting together in the future. you guys both sound very young, by the little kiddie things you wrote about the both of yall behavior. so im sensing that this "brother" lol of yours does have something for you, either that or hes just VERY friendly and touchy feely. but im sure youd know if hes just normally like that, if he treats everyone the same as he does to you. im uming youre the only one. meaning you are his one n only. i think you can hold off on expressing yourself to him how you truly feel. jus let him unravel his feelings. what i suggest you do is stop treating him like a brother, becasue then he wont come clean to you, and once you stop thinking of him like a brother and more like a best friend/ lover. you soon will have yourself finding out the truth. but i do want to let you know to be aware... If something does come between the two of you, you must know that after it ends it will be very awkward between the two of you, so i advice you to take precausion n take it slow, becasue it can RUIN the relatiopnship that you already have. n another thing if he felt uncomfortable with the thought of people thinking yall are a couple, then im sure hed step in n say something like, no... so so far so good. if you really are desperate to know if he likes you or not, what i suggest you do is make fun of him with another girl being a couple and your soon going to find yourself hearing him say no to another girl, and youll compare youself in how he says no to others n not denying the love he has for you.... but still take it slow.
