I am 17/f and have a male friend I like a lot. both of us have partners, so nothing on that score (except a lot of flirting in the past) and for some time we were pretty close. He doesn't open up to a lot of people (including I think, his girlfriend) but to some extent he did with me.
Anyway, lately things have been kind of strange. He doesn't really contact me much anymore- it's always me who does, though he's pleased to see me when we do meet, but he seems to have closed up on me again, only letting me see this big surface act he has going. It really hurts.
It may be because his girlfriend didn't like the fact we were friends or he felt guilty or something, i don't know.
Any clues as to what's going on and how to get my proper friend back will be much appreciated!

The proper strategy would be to hang out with him -and- his girlfriend for a bit and bring a date so she realizes that you aren't a threat and may be willing to let him see you more. [ Imperialistic's advice column | Ask Imperialistic A Question ]

Girlfriend is jealous of your relationship. Hes trying to keep the peace with her.
Chances are he won't put up with it for long. I would just call him up and talk to him when you want to since he doesn't seem to mind. I think If I were you I would ask him if the girlfriend has a problem with him talking to you and all that. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
