Some context. I have a close guy friend who is also my colleague. We would text everyday and though there were some complications in the past that made us awkward with each other for awhile, we will still continue to text without fail. Fast forward to today, we have been put to work together closely in the office so we did not text as often. Things were getting better and we were getting closer. We had a small circle of friends that we will always hang out with after work and go on trips together. We just came back from a trip when suddenly he became cold and distant. I assumed it was because he wasn't feeling well as he was down with a cold a few days after we came back. But after awhile, he seemed to recover and laughed and joked with other people. But when I spoke to him and asked him questions, he would either mumble out an answer or shrug. I assumed he was upset with me over something, but he still talks to me about work. And he still says bye to me before we leave. The last thing he said to me outside of work was when he was fetching me for an outing with our other friends. Things were really awkward in the car as at that time he was already refusing to speak to me. So I mentioned that perhaps I shouldn't have come, using my busyness as an excuse. But he replied that he wouldn't have come for the event if I didn't. Before going silent again and refusing to talk anymore. His reply made me confused as I'm pretty sure he wouldn't say that if he was mad at me. But when I texted him that night to ask him whether he had arrived home safely after dropping me back, he refused to answer me. I texted three times and he left me on read. Since that time, whenever I talked to him casually about non work items, he would give me the cold shoulder. Was it wrong of me to ask if he was home safely? Did I make him mad? Or perhaps... he found out that I actually have a crush on him?
My close guy friend suddenly seems so hesitant to talk to me and treats me coldly?
