Having trouble finding the difference between friends and bf gf?

Can you not decide whether you and your best guy friends are more then that? I asked two guys what they thought on the subject Tyler & Ethan. These guys both had very different answers to my questions.
Tyler has a best girl friend and is very very close to her and does similar things that me and my close guy friend do.
Ethan has a girlfriend of 18 months and most of his friends are guys.
I will start off with Ethan.
Me: I think my really good guy friend likes me, but i don't know how to tell the difference or how a guys brain is wired?
Ethan: Well from my point of view, I would say if he texts you first..... That's not a big one though! Try to see if he glances your way a bunch! Or if he's like flirty and makes contact with you a lot! And if your like in a group of people and he tries talking to you more than anybody else! That's what I think!!
Me:Thanks. But i do have an example for you. He has a gf and she is visiting family in Texas so after mini golf on Saturday he was takin me home and he asked if he could put his arm around me cause he missed his gf, gave me his sweatshirt and was like totally into it. But it is confusing cause he had a gf!
Ethan: What kind of person is he? Cause right now he doesn't sound like a good a guy!?
Me: have known this guy since i was 4. But i have to admit he can be player. But he is like a sibling to me. I don't think he would ever hurt a girl on purpose. But you never know...
Ethan: Yeah, you would be surprised by some people, I think he might be working his way into becoming a cheater! I'm not saying to avoid him or anything, but if he tries doing stuff, you have to tell him to stop!! Cause like with me in a relationship I want other people to respect that I and Bri are dating! If he starts doing more than what friends would do then I would tell him to stop and remind him that he has a gf.
Now i personally thought that Ethan went a little bit extreme. Now here is Tyler's point of view.
Me: Hey, i really need some stupid boy advice.
Tyler: You came to the right person what do ya need?
Me: I think my best guy friend guy likes me.
Tyler: I need examples! (he laughs)
Me:so after mini golf on Saturday he was takin me home and he asked if he could put his arm around me cause he missed his gf, gave me his sweatshirt and was like totally into it.
Tyler: He has a girlfriend?
Me: Yea, that is the curveball.
Tyler: If her didn't have a girlfriend I would ask him, cause it never hurts to ask. Since he has a girlfriend though i would hold off.
Me: What should I do about the whole putting his arm around me and all that stuff?
Tyler: Friends are allowed to that! Stop worrying and go with the flow.
Now as you can see both of the guys had very different answers to my question. They have both had different experiences. Everyone's relationships are different ask a guy you are close to and knows your relationship with the bgf (best guy friend) if yours.

Is he more then bedazzled?

Is he a real guy or just a stud?
When he talks to you does he ask you about his day or about his awesome day with his buds. Does he say how beautiful you are or how beautiful he is? Can you see having a lasting relationship with his ugly personality or his flawless body.
My advice would be it is always fun to go out on a couple dates with a flawless bodied guy take some pics with him and post them on Facebook to make every other girl in your friends list jaws drop. But what I am trying to get at those are that those are just some dates not starting an actual relationship with him cause once you jump in with him there is not way of getting out.

Even Though You're Not Gonna Marry Them You Gotta Try

Are you debating on liking someone cause you know you are not going to marry them? Going out with people is so you can find the person you will find out who you will end up marrying. So what, your relationship could be 4 months 4 years or who knows forever, you never know how much you and that other person will click.

On the other hand if you like someone that doesn't want to go out with you because they aren't going to marry you, but you like them. You just got to tell them that so what you guys are going to break up but you got to live in the moment and not always think about forever. Cause Forever and Always is over rated.
