<human>: Hi there!  I [26F] have a lot of friends, but they are all female and it's been that way ever since I hit puberty.  My major in college was female-dominated, as is my current field of work.  I have been in one relationship after another for many years, and I feel like the only interactions I have with guys are one of a flirtatious nature.  I just don't really know how else to interact a straight guy. 

Two months ago, I made my first straight male friend [26M] in my recent memory.  I met him online and haven't met him in person (he lives in another country; I could potentially visit if I wanted to).  We talk all the time and get along very well.  We talk for hours, confide in one another, watch movies together, and would rather spend time with each other than do other things... 

He tells me he sees me as a good friend.  I was in a relationship until a week ago, and while I was still with my boyfriend, I asked the guy friend if it'd make any difference if I weren't in a relationship.  He said it's a hard question since he actively tries not to think about it.  I let my friend know about the breakup.  He was concerned it might have been because of him, and I reassured him it was not.

I like what we have going as of now.  I do feel very affectionate towards my guy friend, and being an expressive person, I want to show it, but I don't know what the boundaries are.  I guess I'm overall confused about my feelings and how people with very close friends of the opposite gender know if it's just a friendship or a budding romance.

Can you provide a brief overview of the text?
