At any rate, for the next few months we continued to enjoy this close friendship. He would lay with me and watch movies and we would talk, sometimes pass out. But then, out of the blue, he starts distancing himself from me bit by bit, no warning and no talking to me about it like I had told him to do. I gathered he was doing so because maybe he was falling for me and needed the space...but the sudden isolation hurt. I was so used to emotionally depending on him for support that the distance was devastating.
Nevertheless, I've been trying to get him to talk to me again over these past few months like he used to, trying to message him everyday and whatnot but I only get cursory feedback, no deep conversations or anything. I've tried breaking the touch barrier with little pokes and things but he doesn't seem to really respond much to it. I know he doesn't hug me and he seems afraid to be alone in the same room as me.
Does anyone have any advice on tactical warfare here? What else can I try. I don't want it to be too late. I want us to regain our close friendship and let it continue to grow. To be honest, I was hoping I could form one of those close intimate like friendships similarly emotional sating as having a lover, but without the whole sexual thing. Any ideas, people?
