I think he knows exactly what you are talking about. i bet you're friend uses similar tricks, for example. Have your friend stand behind you and look over your shoulder, put a round pencil on the table in front of you, wave your hand in front of it as if you are using the force, but blow just softly enough for the pencil to move across the table.

Ok, next time think of a multiplication... say, think about adding 117 and 203 to get 320. If you put that into your mind, and he says those 3 numbers in the same exact order, and you do this about 20 different times with different number combinations all adding up to a different sum... then yes, my skepticism would be satisfied and i would assume this person can read minds. But not fully, more tests would need to be done.
Instead... i think you may be asking yes or no questions towards your sly little friend, which can easily be answered with one word... yes, or no. Instead of 117 plus 203 equals 320, which would be much more difficult to guess than say... yes, or no.
I think someday you will be able to reflect on the deluded behavior contrived from emotional and sentimental feelings stemming from inner wants and psychological desires. Once you can get past these feelings and think with a rational mind, you may realize that you have much more power over who you are as an individual, and gain the ability to observe and critique the way your own mind works and operates.
