I'm facing the same situation right now.
My best guy friend and I have been such for 6 years now. We actually dated briefly 5 years ago. Since then we've always had this huge flirtatious thing between us. So he came home for Winter Break and we hung out. We ended up making out...and I told him that I was a friend first but that I would love to be a girlfriend...but that the timing was off (he isn't living here right now). So we agreed that we would just go with the flow and if either one of us felt uncomfortable we'd let the other know.
Funny, things have been prefect between us. And I owe it all to being upfront and to the point. Because we have a history he and I know that no matter what, we'll still be friends. And we're both more mature now (compared when we were dating).
Here's my advice!
Forget the sings...I had those for four years now and it took that long to act on them. Just be upfront and mature about it. If you don't feel comfortable laying it out on the line, then perhaps phrase your words or statements in a way that will lead you to understand if he's interested too. You'll know what I mean (hopefully).
I say though if there's a flirtation there's a spark and it's waiting to be ignited by one of you.
Good Luck!
