A guy I’m friends with always act different towards me when I mentioned a guy I really liked?

[Anonymous]

He said it’s pointless talking to me because he said he has feelings for me. Now he said he doesn’t have feelings for me, but was he was joking. He said I don’t like you you’re too strange. When I first met him he asked why I didn’t have a boyfriend when I mentioned the guys who were interested in me and he told me to stop talking about it and he said he doesn’t want to know too much. He started asking was I a virgin or not. He asked was the guy who wanted to date was he freaky/kinky type guy. Another time when I said I have a crush on this guy who was I was obsessed with and he asked who was the guy and then he said don’t text him about that because isn’t normal then and he doesn’t fucking care. He asked me how im obsessed with that guy I wanted to explain, but he said he doesn’t care and it’s strange, then he say going to cut off contact with me after I said We’ll talk about something else. He started ignoring and left me on read. He wouldn’t even answer his phone. He later texted he wasn’t upset and he doesn’t care. He other jokes about having sex with me as joke.

Your friend seems afraid of rejection or he maybe to complicated to deal with. What I would do is sit down with him and have a serious conversation. If you like him, tell him that. Then ask if he likes you too. If he avoids answering or says "I don't fucking care" then cut off the relationship. His inability to properly express his emotions will only complicate your life and act as a thorn in the side of any future relationships you have with other men.

He’ll say it’s a joke or he wasn’t serious

Yes, saying "it's a joke" or "I'm not serious" is an effort to obfuscate what's being talked about, avoid answering the question and lastly to down play the importance of your concern. It's a manipulation pure and simple. In confusing situations like this you must remain focused on what you want answered or resolved.
