25F have a long term M friend from uni, we now graduated and occasionally whenever we have time we still hangout a lot; care for each other deeply , it’s not a daily type of friendship but meetup occasionally , tell each other major life events , support each other thro wins and hard times.
I’ve always lowkey liked him but I never truly felt like there was a romantic spark, we’ve been really good friends for years now and platonically I adore him. We might’ve jokingly flirted some at the start but nothing too much and we have a lot of similar interests and even the things we don’t agree on we enjoy each other’s preferences. He’s really sweet and always supports me and I get to do whenever I want like picking the places and food cuisines, sometimes he’s paid for coffee and drinks too.
The other day I for the first time in years caught a whiff of his sweat and I was so surprised that I absolutely did not mind it. Mind you it was very faint and he didn’t stink but it was 8 pm, he’s been in that shirt since the morning and he always smelled clean and like his regular perfume but he lifted his arms to stretch
I recently saw a post that said you will only ever love the armpit scent of the person you love, and I today had the realization that maybe I caught feelings ???
There’s no firecracker romantic spark but we’re very comfortable with each other (could it be cus I’ve known him for years and it feels familiar and safe)
