Does my guy friend like me?

[Anonymous]

I have a guy friend who I really got along with. One of our mutual friends even pointed out once that she's never seen him tease anyone else as much as me. But he became distant a few weeks after he found out I have a boyfriend. This distance period lasted a little over a month, but now he's back to normal. He even bought me a pin for my backpack when he travelled abroad (I am known for having a bunch of pins on it), and said that when he saw it, he instantly thought of me. Although I appreciate the gesture, I can't help but wonder if it was purely platonic or if there is something else there. What do you think, internet?

Hmmm... Maybe, but it could be him trying to be overprotective of you; seems like he's playing the older brother role a little bit. I feel like it's either that or he's a friend who's just a little bit more than a friend.

There is no way to tell. You could look at it as him becoming distant when you had a boyfriend as him being respectful.

He might have intentionally created distance to give you and your boyfriend space and avoid any awkwardness or misinterpretations.

He probably does want to be more than a friend
