this incident happened maybe about a year ago, but i'm still baffled to this day on what really happened. read on and see if you can decode this guy's actions...it's long, mind you!
i had a really good guy friend throughout all of high school. we both hung out in the same group, and i was known as the bachelorette (i never had a bf before and all my friends did). when i got together with my boyfriend, my guy friend started acting funny as in at first in big shock, then being distant toward me, and then "maybe" flirting with me?
why i say maybe is because he tends to do that with all of the girls in our group. he tends to joke a lot, but one thing he almost never did to me was touch me in any way shape or form (not even playfull hitting). when i got together with my boyfriend, he started acting kinda clingy like when the group departed for class he walked with me instead of them. as for the touching, he sat really close and made up excuses that could be played off as "joking". everytime i questioned him about it, he denied it and said he was "joking around". but if his behavior changes like that i don't think it's joking...?
i hardly ever talk about my bf cuz all my friends were currently single at the moment and i did it for their sake so that it doesn't make them feel bad. and whenever i do (very rare), my guy friend gets really quiet. later on that year he claimed to be mad at me because i talked about my boyfriend too much, which isn't true! he started ignoring me, giving me dirty looks, and vice versa.
it's odd because not long after i hooked up with my bf, we talked online and he admitted that he liked me. later (way, way later) down the line my boyfriend decides to call him up and told him to just leave me alone. it got kinda intense, and i called my guy friend and asked him the reason why my bf doesn't like him is because he said he liked me on the internet that one day. i asked him if he meant that, and he said no, he was "only joking" that day.
to this day i really don't even know how this guy feels about me. does he like me or was he playing with my head? can anyone tell me?

But I have only met one guy that doesnt do that only when he like a girl. Currently he is one of my best friends and he used to play mind tricks with me and my friends but he made it really obious that he didnt like us. I really think that your friend likes you.
angelwings answered Monday March 7 2005, 1:45 pm: I think its pretty obvious that he likes you, and as for him saying he was just joking, he was protecting his feelings. He didn't want to put himself out there and get regected which is what was going to because you already had a boyfriend. He probably didn't do anything to promote his feelings for you earlier because he probably thought since you never had a boyfriend he had more time, or he just didn't realize his feelings until you weren't availible anymore. If you keep asking him abouyt his feelings he will probably always denie it and say it was just joking. But don't be fooled like that. He likes you [ angelwings's advice column | Ask angelwings A Question ]

He liked you and figured he could weazle his way into your thoughts by "joking". Since you didn't talk about your boyfriend much, he probably didn't see him as much of a factor. Which would cause his being irritated the few times you actually mentioned him to make sense. [ storageanddisposal's advice column | Ask storageanddisposal A Question ]
