Why does my guy friend ignore me ?

[Anonymous]

this guy friend , well I wouldn't consider him as a friend , but he is kinda like a friend . anyways we have everything in common . He's the boy version of me , we even say stuff at the same time sometimes . but he'll do this thing where he talks to me then ignores me. but when we all hanging out as a group he'll ask one of my friends to ask me to come. If I say no he makes a big deal about me not coming ( not in front of me ) but when I'm there he acts like I'm not even here. if me and Him are alone in a room he doesn't talk to me . its like he acts like he could care less if we friends . its been 2 years now . and to be honest I liked him since we first met . so it really bothers me when he ignores me . to be honest I ignore him too . like my friend would come up to me and ask " why you and james are not talking?" when we really are talking , we just ignore each other. and don't say he ignores me because I ignore him , because I ignore him because he ignores me . we talk , but we could talk more . its like we do it on purpose , when we alone there's always these awkward silences . we live in NY so we take the train , I'd see him on the train in the morning and we say hi and just sit down not talking ; even when its only the two of us on the cart . I glance at him to see what he's doing and he just sits there , I mean why not just talk to me ? I started thinking he hated me . but I wasn't in school for a week and my friend said he kept asking for me (so he noticed I was gone O.o ) when I came back to school he hugged me and said he missed me and asked where I was , but then its back to avoiding each other . sometimes we glance at each other but its always these awkward looks . I've been in his house , his bed ( not like that ) , ate his food , stayed over , played video games with him , we joke around and etc . . . things friends do ! so why do we ignore each other ?

I've done that before with a girl, I ignored her and she would ignore me, she ignored me and I would ignore her. When she didn't show up it would drive me crazy, it was as if I feared she wasn't coming back, or she was with another guy. When I didn't show up she would constantly ask about me too, yet we ignored each other a lot when we were around each other. I think I was to proud and immature to tell her how I felt about her. Poor girl probably thought I was the most oblivious guy alive, she gave me all the signs and openings to get with her. Eventually I moved away, I regret not telling her how I felt and treating her that way. I think your "friend" my be to proud to tell you how he feels, maybe he thinks you are proud also, could be the reason why he's acting that way. When he ignores you don't react by ignoring him, try talking to him when he does that, try something different, one of you have to break the behavior of ignoring if you want a relationship with each other.

He likes you. Period. But its pretty immature. I only ignore a person if they do an action which causes me to ignore them.
