If it is true that your friend has feelings for you, there is two ways to handel it. if you dont have feelings for him then just leave it there. dont ask him anything as it will ruin you friendship in the future. if you have a little bit of feelings for him then you must be more in his company. if he likes you as your friends claim then he will show you signs like, he will be alot quieter when you are with other guys. he will like being in you presence, when you ask him "why dont you take that girl she is so beautifull and will suit you great" then he will look at you in a sad way and answer you "no it is not my type, or no i dont want her etc." dont ask him if he has feelings for you. he will not be honest. and he will feel humiliated and then you will never find out if he likes you or not. hope my advice will work for you!!!

Be honest with him and tell him that you are clearly just friends and you are really pleased to have him as a friend.

You don't want any grey areas as it can ruin your friendship for both of you which would be a real shame.
