i have a best friend who is now seventeen years old. we were boyfriend & girlfriend a year ago.. but we lasted about three months. but the thing is that i only saw him as a best friend than a boyfriend, including the fact that i rarely got to see him. and apparently he didn't get over me for a couple of months, but later on he did. he didn't like anybody for a while, only a little crush here and there. he's been single for almost a month now, but i've had a couple of boyfriends after him. i am now in a relationship with my current boyfriend for seven months. and me and my best friend still talks alot like usual. once school had ended, and summer started. i went on vacation, out of the country... and didn't have a computer or any of type of phone, and my best friend went off to new york. but he came back before i did... and ever since, he wasn't interested in anybody. for his seventeenth birthday, i surprised him at the bowling ally. he was happy and everything, and we started to hang out alot more, and talk on the phone more. and did what we always did.
but lately, now when i talk to him, he always says "i hate my life" or "fml" and i always ask him why does he say that, and he says that he's a loser. i asked why, but he said he always looses things. yesterday, i told him to tell me what was wrong cause i had to deal with that for the longest time ever. but he said "i'll tell you when i'm ready, and right now i'm not ready" which made no sense, because he didn't show any clues that he liked me again or anything, he makes fun of me and etc. and when he liked me before, he was always polite and throwing compliments at me. and later on, i kept asking him why wouldn't he tell me what was wrong.. and he said "if you were me, you wouldn't be ready to tell you either... it's harder than you think it is.. plus, it would probably effect everything. what if it involved a special person?" and today, he came over to my house.. i went through his messages cause him and my best friend was talking about something, and he said "did you tell mary (me) anything?" and my friend said "no, why?" so i don't know.
i suck at reading clues... help?!

I think he does like you. It would all make sense. He is happy when he is able to spend time with you. But at the same time he probably feels at least a little depressed that you already have a boyfriend. Maybe he isn't ready to tell you because he is afraid of your reaction. Obviously, he wouldn't want to be heartbroken. I know it's probably going to bug you why he is hiding this (or whatever he is hiding from you). But he said that he isn't ready to tell you yet, so perhaps you should just wait it out. Maybe he is hoping to tell you if and when you and your current boyfriend break up.
You never mentioned once whether or not you have feelings for your best friend. You also didn't mention what your feelings are for your current boyfriend. So I'm not really sure what you want in this case, but if you want to be with your boyfriend then you should try to forget about this thing with your best friend. Still be best friends obviously. But if you are having feelings for your best friend, then that is a different case. Really think about this one. I hope that everything works out for the best. If you need any more help just ask me. :) Take care. <3 [ iwantthetruth's advice column | Ask iwantthetruth A Question ]
solariagirl94 answered Tuesday August 4 2009, 8:41 am: it is highly likely that he likes you,from what you've said.And the fact that he hasn't been truly interested in anybody after all the time that has passed after you broke up with him points out the obvious.But I guess he doesn't want it to be that way,he doesn't want you to see that he does love you.Honestly,I feel bad for the guy.And he probably feels a lot worse if he knows you're in a relationship for 7 months with someone or so.And when he said he loses things,he ment how he lost you.I don't know if you like him,but if I were you,I'd question myself about it.Normally,a girl doesn't care if a guy likes her or not unless deep down she likes him too...and I think that is your case.
So,all I can say it...I hope this resolves smoothly and good luck with him!
I hope I helped anyhow.
best wishes,
