Do I like my friend? Or do I just like the attention?

The story

I’m confused whether my feelings about my friend is genuine or I just like the attention.

Earlier today, I was talking to this girl at my school. We spoke before but only a little. I find her guy friend attractive physically but never really spoke to him that much. I know he isn’t my type personality wise yet when he spoke of me somehow I still get hopeful? As if I wanted us to be together.

I brought that up because it further proves that I think I just like the attention. I mean I was so sure that I did not find him attractive when it came to personality yet got happy when he spoke about me. Back to my friend though.

So, I know my friend’s personality. Well I know enough to make a proper judgement. We’re basically twins and I’m not saying that lightly (or literally, we’re NOT biological twins!!) we just have a lot in common and think similarly too. Now, I’m attracted to his personality but never seen what he looked like.

I definitely don’t want anything romantic with him, at least not now because the last online friendship I had, I was groomed and I’m kinda not over that still. Besides, I keep reminding myself that we’re friends and what I’m feeling is just temporary. Hopefully it will fade on its own but I would like some outside opinions instead of my own mind screaming different things at me.

Instead, I’ll have random strangers scream different things at me lol. Maybe not scream but it was funny to me.
