What does it mean when your guy friend sitting across you in a restaurant comes and sits next to you when his guy friend join you guys in the middle?

In restaurant I always sit across the table when meeting my best friend (male). But whenever he comes to know that any of his male friend is gonna join us in the middle. He comes and sits beside me. What does it mean?

[TrueConfection]

I think it means he's making room for his friend and he'd rather sit next to you than next to his guy friend or he's thinking about it being awkward for you if his friend sat next to you.

He's being protective of you. Rather than taking the chance of letting someone make inappropriate contact with you and causing you discomfort, he will take that spot and guaranty your safety.

It means “Tagged, you’re It”.

Maybe nothing, or maybe he is being territorial
