So this guy... [Kinda long]


Question Posted Wednesday April 16 2008, 1:40 am

So I like this guy who's a friend and we were getting closer. Like a lot closer. We went fro barely talking to each other a couple times a week to talking, saying hi, and hugging everyday. Like everytime he saw me he'd come up and talk to me and hug me and whatever but he had a gf. I mean I knew that and I wasn't trying to be a homewrecker or anything and try to break them up but we were like that even before they started going out. But anyways out of no where he just stopped talking to me. Like it literally happened over night. We were fine one day then the next day I said hi and hugged him but he was seemed really distant. And I thought he was having a bad day or something and I just ignored it but for days it was like that. Then it was weeks.

And still to this day he barely talks to me. He'd pass right by me and not even look at me and walk around me when before he used to go out of his way to come and talk to me. I've started thinking that maybe his gf got jealous or something and didn't want him hugging other girls all the time or something but I see him with other girls all the time. It seems that its just me he's been distant with.. And last week I found out that his gf broke up with him because it turned out he'd been distant from her too..

He still says hi to me every once in a while but its not the same and its really awkward. And sometimes I'll catch him looking at me but then he'll look away all of a sudden and sometimes I try to catch his eye and he busies himself in watching his feet or something.

I just want to know what it means and like some guys' point of views would really help. I mean I don't know if I did something wrong or what but I really miss him as a friend. I've tried talking to him about it but he won't really give me the time of day. So any insight/advice or anything would really help. Thanks in advance.

I think the reason he distanced himself could be something cliche, like his girlfriend asked him to or pointed out how close you were. However life isn't like a television show, he would have been too embarrassed to tell you why and to be honest, probably too chicken.

Also, maybe he got freaked out. He realised what was going on and now has no idea how to act around you, or he avoids you.

I know it sounds cliche, but it's more likely than you'd think.

You haven't done anything wrong, remember that. I don't think there's much you can do, other than wait for it pass over. Maybe you should confront him, and be like "what the hell have I done? Why are you avoiding me? Tell me, and I'll have the information I need and leave you alone"

It doesn't sound like you did anything wrong, because he was distant from his girlfriend too. There may just be something going on in his life right now that is stressing him or upsetting him in some way. Talk to him and let him know that you are worried about him and that you are there for him no matter what. He may open up once you let him know that, or he may not. It really depends on the situation and whats going on as to how he will react.

It sounds like he still likes you and stuff but that something is going on with him. Again talk to him about it and tell him that you would really like to be friends with him and help with whatever it is that is going on.

Hope I Helped.
