Recently, there is a rumor circulating with the male population at my school that I like this guy named.. let's call him 'Bob'. Bob and I talk a lot, and we're pretty close. There's this other guy, Dylan, who noticed us talking [when we talk, we stand very close]. So, supposedly, Dylan talked to Bob, and was like 'Hmm, so you and [my name] were flirting again?" and Bob goes "Yeah." Dylan is convinced that Bob likes me.
Today, Bob confronted me and was like 'Yeah Dylan is a pansy, he said that you like me, whatever, he's gay', stuff like that. It almost seems like Bob is avoiding me. He and my other friend talk a ton, but I'm pretty sure that they're really just friends. Every time I try to start up a conversation with Bob, things just get really awkward, it's not as comfortable as it was talking to him now.
I really don't want to lose my friendship with Bob, I really do like him [maybe even more as a friend], but I've seen him kind of act like a jerk. My friend jammed her finger against her locker, and he kind of smirked.. I'm thinking of just moving on, and letting him come to me, because he's sending me mixed signals. I really don't know if he likes me, or not...
You should continue talking to him as a friend. Try and start conversation. If he keeps avoiding you, call him out on it. Tell him you don't understand why he's shunning you and it's not fair.
Maybe once you guys get back to talking again you can figure out if it's worth taking your relationship to the next level.

Maybe, after you talk to him, and he tell's you what's going on, then you will both have that connection back that you used to have. There's nothing that you cant solve by talking.
