He trusts me a surprising amount...

[Meganium]

I have two friends who are twins. One I've had the pleasure of meeting in school first and sharing the same classes with, while the other, I didn't get properly acquainted to until the latter end of last year.

They are both in my dorm now as roommates, and as this year has been progressing, I've become quite close to the second twin. That's fine.

Though we're good friends and all that, I find it odd that he trusts me so much. He's told me a lot of things about his brother which he doesn't tell many people, and has told me personal things exclusively on multiple occasions. Just last night even, we pulled an all nighter and he told me several scandalous things occurring in our school which he was incredibly anxious about by keeping it secret. He's more inclined to tell me these things wholly as opposed to his brother, who he has been keeping out of the loop more and more since we've started speaking more.

I have two theories regarding this...although I strongly doubt the first.

1.) He's trying to build/gauge trust between us since we'll be roommates next year.

2.) He may be catching on to a crush that I'm not sure I even have on him.

I fear the latter, only because I don't want to make anything awkward, but yeah.

This could all be nothing, but I want to know what makes me so trustworthy to him. He has no background of me at all, and I think he may be onto something. Or I'm just being an over-analyst.

I had no intentions of coming off as incredibly paranoid, I apologize. But I am curious as to why he trusts me so easily. Granted, not one of you could give me a proper answer since you don't know me, but i'd like ideas.

Thanks.

I think he's try to build a friendship with you because you'll be roommates next year. You don't even know if this person is gay, and while he might be, you don't know if he necessarily likes you. You shouldn't be paranoid because nobody is forcing you to reciprocate the feelings if that is, indeed, true.

He may be just enjoying a friend and being his own person not XXX's twin.

Sorry, I messed my wording up. It's the other way around. I'm still confused as to what my feelings are precisely, but simply put, I have the crush on him, and I think he knows. I already know he's not gay. He's a devout Catholic who's displayed his interest in girls repeatedly.

Also, when we decided to be roommates, he said that he would've asked me anyway because a.) His brother is either leaving or he just doesn't want to room with him anymore, or b.) There's no one else in the dorm who doesnt already have a roommate, or who thinks would be a good one.

Well yeah, but when you've told your twin all these things before, and then you suddenly shift, it kinda says something, y'know?

I think one set of circumstances re room mate leads to the situation you are in now - as in he is spending more time with you and seems to talk about his bro -

Yeah - cool whatever.

no one knows why the trust the people they do.

I wouldn't read too much into it just yet. Some people just build up trust with people really quickly and others don't. I have had friends (both male and female) than have built up trust with me after only meeting me like twice and were telling me really personal stuff about them. I certainly wouldn't suspect it's a crush at this stage.

I tell a lot more things to my friends than I tell my brother too, it's just I have/want a seperated life from my family,

Maybe he's been feeling lonely recently and he has already realised you're a good and trustworthy person. I wouldn't think too much about it, really. If you're sure he's straight, then don't do anything rash in that matter. Just make sure you keep his friendship and he understands he can count on you.

I agree. Plus you might be a good listener and since you will be future roommates he wants you to know him better.
