Love help: I don’t know what to do. - Help.com

Ok so there is this guy, I will call him James. I have known James since 7th grade and I just graduated high school. Sophmore year we started dating, the broke up on bad terms after a bout two weeks. We later resolved them and ended up dating a second time, except it was much better and we dated for about a year and 3 months or so. I ended the realtionship because it felt like we were the best of friends and I just wasn’t in love with him anymore, but I still loved him as a friend. I have never been treated better then the way he treats me. After the breakup we were able to remain friends, best friends at that, but it was and is clear he wishes for more. It’s been a while since we broke up and we are still great friends. Over the past few months, every now and then old feelings come back but they normally don’t last very long. But last night he and I were killing some time at the mall before a get together at the cheesecake factory with my friends and then he ended up waiting with me for about half an hour for my friends to get there, my friends never showed. So we decided to get some cheesecake anyway. the entire timeI couldn’t stop thinking about kissing him, and wanting his arms around me. When we hugged goodnight, I just didn’t want to let go. It just felt so nice.I’m so confused. I don’t want to dive into it because of a couple of things. A.)he’s always been an option for me- a wonderful option, b.)I just really want a boyfriend c.) we jumped back in like this before and it didn’t work so well. My plan was to wait until after my orientation next week, to see how I act around lots of new boys that I haven’t met. But idk, I’m just not sure. I just want some second opinions. I feel like the only person I can talk to about anything is James, he knows me better than anyone else and what can I say he’s my best friend. I don’t feel like I have anyone else to talk about it with. I know I love him, it is just I don’t know whether it’s more than a best friend love.
