Friendship gone awry
Okay, so I played the lead character opposite a guy friend of mine in our school's spring play. The only problem was, we were good friends before, but we had to actually kiss onstage, no stage kissing, no angling it - it was real.
The first time he kissed me, it was during an excercise we were doing for our drama teacher to "develop our characters' relationship," and we both got really into it.
The day after that, he wouldn't look at me, and ever since then our friendship has been...awkward? I mean like, we used to talk about everything, now every conversation we have seems to be awkward and forced, almost as if we're afraid to talk.
The play's over now, and our friendship is sort of going back to normal, but there's still a little...awkwardness to it. I never got a crush on him, but my character definitely liked his character, and his definitely liked mine. But we never liked each other as who we really are...if that makes any sense...Why do you think all the awkwardness happened? I'm just curious to see what you all think.

More than likely, its just because you two had to kiss each other and you've never thought about each other in that light. Try talking to him. It might turn out that you two do like each other and just don't want to admit it or just didn't know about it.
Hope everything works!

I think that you just need to talk to him about it and if that doent help try to talk to his friends to talk to him about it. that happend to me once but it wasnt in a play but i had an awakardness in my friendship with a guy then i just had the guts to ask him out if you feel that way you can do the same.

It could be because he developed feelings for you, or just as likely, he is worried you now have feelings for him which he may not be able to return.
The only way to deal with this to remove the awkwardness is talk it through with him. Just tell him that you have felt a little awkward since as it got a little confusing having a relationship on stage that was different from your real life one. But if you are not interested in him in real life, make sure he knows that. Tell him that now the play is over you hope you both can go back to being friends like you were. Then he will know where you stand on it and I think it will go away.

It's probably because he feels a romantic tension that wasn't there before. Perhaps the kiss sparked feelings inside of him, and he doesn't know how to deal with them. The best thing to do would be to bring up the recent awkwardness, maybe during a phone call or on instant messenger so he can be more relaxed about answering.

Well a great kiss can add a spin to anything. AS a personal experience I was at a concert and i have kissed very few people but this random girl in the crowd started making out with me, and yet i'll never forget that moment.
When two people kiss, wether you want it or not emotions start to build inside for the other. Not that you like them but it usually always gives a wierd twist to things.
I would say talk to him about becuase if he has never had a crush on you and still doesn't (and you know this for sure) and you have never srushed him, then talking about it really should make the awkwardness to stop, expecailly if you can turn it into something that you can both laugh at like friends would.

That is a good question. Why don't you ask him what he thinks it was. Maybe he kinda developed some feelings for you during the whole thing. I'd just ask him.

Hey it is probably just cuz you are so good of friends and you didnt want to break your friendship you know? Im counfussing but it was just awkward and you didnt really want to talk about it after.
