this guy is my brother’s best friend, Liam. He told me he liked me sometime around this month but doesn’t want a relationship, which I understand.

Throughout this time he flirts with me continuously, and about two weeks ago he told me he doesn’t like me anymore.

But two days later through a phone call he said he still liked me a little. This went on for a week when he told me he moved on and we should just be friends ( which confused me because I thought that’s what we are? ).

Three days ago he mentioned he doesn’t like anyone and currently have no crushes, implying that he probably had lost feelings for me.

But today when I told him I needed space to think things through ( because I had actually caught a little feelings for him by his flirting these weeks and was upset when he said he didn’t like anyone anymore ), he straight up told me he thinks he still likes me but doesn’t want a relationship ( again ).

someone explain to me what exactly does he want from me? He don’t want a relationship, never initiate any intimacy so we can rule out him wanting sex, let alone kissing. So what does he want?
