so I've known this guy almost a year. it was one of those perfect fit friendships where we went from total strangers to best of friends in like 2 weeks tops. we talk about almost everything, and have this awesome joking/harassing/supportive dynamic. we almost never actually hang out, but he texts me everyday from work, and on his days off we generally text all day.
I had a huge crush on him when we became friends. and after almost a year of hoping he'd either pick of on my hints or drop a few of his own, I gave up. Keep in mind, I was single that whole time.
well a couple months ago I started seeing someone. nothing super serious yet, but I really like him and we have a great time together. And when I told the guy friend about it, he seemed excited for me. And now he's lost his mind.
no really. my super shy guy friend is suddenly being strange. we've talked about sex before in a generic funny conversational way. suddenly he keeps bringing it up. last night I made some smart ass comment and he said something about how he'd spank me but id enjoy that. I cracked a joke about punishment being hard when I like it and he responded " so you would enjoy it if I spanked you huh? interesting." but when I asked why it was interesting he changed the subject.
before that he sent me a few really sweet texts and then told me he was sucking up to me. I responded that he's my best friend and favorite nerd, what more could he want? he said to reach the top. I asked what he meant and again he changes the subject.
suddenly he's actually making plans with me. he's got vacation in 2 weeks and we have a movie night planned. he keeps asking me about the guy I've been seeing, and asking questions like "is it exciting when your with him"
I've noticed a few conversations we've had about romance and relationships, halfway through he'll change his mind. He'll start out saying romantic comedies should be outlawed because no guy is like that and end up telling me all the ways he tries to romance a girl. not typical ways, but he's not a typical guy, and they were all pretty sweet.
oh and he hates endearments. sweetie huni. I use them all the time with everyone, its habit. when we first became friends he would tell me how he hated them. and I've noticed for the last few days, he's repeatedly called me princess...
So OK, does it sound like I'm reading too much into it, or is my suddenly super antisocial ridiculously awkwardly shy friend suddenly trying to show interest?
