I had a guy friend who I confessed my feelings for and he told me that he wanted us to remain friends because he's moving away. He began being really distant and I asked him why and he told me the reason he was being less involved was because he thought if we got closer it would only hurt me more. He was very kind... But things haven't gotten better.
Although he called out my name to greet me at work two nights ago, after that he began having trouble making eye-contact with me. He always seems uncomfortable around me and this only makes things worse for me because I really care about him and wanted to make this work. I wanted us to be friends, but he's not helping at all. I know he doesn't dislike me, but I wish I knew why he can't even act like my friend if that's what we're supposed to be.
For more details look at my other questions. They pretty much tell the story that leads up to this.
Some help and views on this would be much appreciated. I really want to understand why he's acting like this.
I agree with you here. What she described if a very hard place to be in. I know because I have been there. It hurts knowing that you like the person but you or her have to leave for what ever reason. - 10 months ago
Wow man, he's totally freaking out. I agree with JeVousAime in that he must care about you. she totally hit the nail on the head with that one.
you have to sit him down and have a heart to heart with him. you have to put his fears at ease. you have to tell him how much it hurts you that you're not even acting like friends anymore. let him be totally honest too. once it's all out there you can both feel more at ease, and thus the awkwardness would be relieved.
Thanks. Everything turned out okay and we're friends now. I talked to him about it and he apologized for being so distant.. He just wanted to avoid us getting closer at any cost because he didn't want anyone getting hurt. Thanks for your kind words though. - 11 months ago
