Is it normal that my friend acts this way?

I have this wonderful male friend (I am female). We have been friends for 13 years and just recently (the past month) he has began to really open up a lot about feelings that he has.He has become emotional and often cries when we start to talk about deep issues. Lately he seems to be hugging a lot more and for longer periods. Is this normal? like is he feeling the need of touch because he is feeling emotional? Or is there something else to it?

    hes just comfortable with you, and is probably going through an incredibly stressful period in his life.

    i dont know if there is anything else behind it but i do know that everyone has a child inside and who doesn't need a hug when they are feeling down.? just be a friend to him and listen, its hard to open up

    He probably has feelings for you.

      How would i know for sure though if he did? The problem is that I am married and have been for 8years. I know he and i have been friends longer but why is he acting like this now? No matter what though I will still and always will be there for him. I guess i just want to make sure that this is ok between friends.

        It's just my guess from personal experience that he has feelings for you, but I'm not really sure how you could know for certain. You sound like a very good friend, and It's good that you are there for him. I'm sure he really appreciates that regardless. If it is making you uncomfortable though, then maybe you should have a talk with him about it?

    Yeah, thats how you get women to want them to know you want them, by crying in front of them.
