Why does my guy friend / lover seem to get mad when I talk about other men?

Maybe he's into you, but at the same time confused. Give him a little time to miss you too. Either he'll put his act together or move on, either way won't be a lost for you.

Trust me when I say: hanging out with a confused guy is not worth the time and energy.

Cheer up!

Sounds like he is into you and maybe he is too scared to take it to another level because he feels like you are not into him.

One of you are going to need to take the first step here and say how you really feel about each other,.... and it might have to be you.

Best of luck.

I am going through the same thing. I have a classmate that I worked with as a TA and we became friends. The following year I stopped teaching and he begged me to hang out with him all the time. I brushed him off for a few months, but he was so persistent that I finally caved in.

We had loads of fun, and last summer we hooked up one night. Then when I asked where he wanted things to go, he said he liked me, but wasn't ready for something serious. I took that as rejection and stopped seeing him for four months until the holidays came and I got really lonely. I liked being with him. Ever since then, I would hear from him every two or three weeks. We don't hang out like we used to, and he talks about other girls he works/hangs with, but then says he hates being single?!?! I have stopped talking to him, but he will come visit me at work to tell me when he's going out of town and complain about not seeing me. Men are weird.

You have to face that guys can and are more likely to be jealous in a sense that they won't let us know!
