Yeah, this isn't really normal behavior for friends. Don't get me wrong, it's kind of lovely that you can be so close and since he's never made a sexual move, he must be a really great guy. My boyfriend's good buddy from college kisses me on the forehead when he hugs me and tells me how much he misses me and calls me darlin' and all....but we don't see each other often and I don't feel the need to talk to him all the time. And my boyfriend knows how close we are in that way and is fine with it.
Your friend probably respects you because you know he has a gf and you've never tried to take things to the next level even though you've had the opportunity. He probably feels like you are different from most other girls, and he's probably right. Ollie is right though, he is emotionally cheating. I wouldn't want my boyfriend acting this way around a girl friend of his.
You just have to ask yourself if you really ARE interested in this guy romantically and/or sexually. If you aren't positive, I wouldn't jeopardize your friendship by trying to make it into something that it's not. He obviously gets something from you that he doesn't get from his girlfriend, though, so maybe he needs to do some soul searching and find out if he's really happy where he's at.
Is the relationship that I have with my best friend normal?
