I (23yrs f) fell asleep next to my friend once after we were hanging out with some other friends for some drinks on the couch and when I woke up in the middle of the night he was knocked out and my head was near his lap. I was going to get up but I looked up at him and felt really comfortable so I just layed back down. We've been friends going on 6 years already and not once has he even hinted at liking me but I felt really comfortable with him. It was weird having that moment of thinking what it would be like to wake up next to him and not having it feel weird. He's cute and we joke around but nothing ever even remotely close to something sexual and he's respectful. A piece of me wonders if he's ever felt the same, but I'm afraid to ask and then have things be awkward between us.
