I know this guy used to like me, but the past couple months he's been more distant. I'm not sure if he no longer has feelings for me, or if it's because of some things that have been going on in his personal life. We haven't known each other that long, but we at first we really hit it off and we would hang out all the time. I could tell he really liked me, and I liked him as well. Then he started to withdraw, around the same time as some issues in his personal life started coming up. At first I didn't make the connection, but now I'm starting to wonder if that's the reason he's withdrawn...He just seems down whenever I see him. Even though he is acting differently, he's told me some personal things a few times in the past month that make me wonder if 1) he still likes me, and/or 2) he needs someone to talk to. For example, he told me that until recently he had been depressed for a few years (and that he had even been taking medication), but that going back to his hometown really helped. He also told me about some plans he is making that a lot of our friends would probably disapprove of or at least be skeptical of, and I asked if he had told anyone else and he said no, and that he didn't even know why he told me. He also told me that he feels like recently he's been drinking too much and that he kind of wants to get help...Every time he tells me this stuff, it's very nonchalant and catches me off guard, so I never know how to react. Obviously I'm worried about him and I want to help him somehow, but I also wonder why he's telling me all this, since we really haven't known each other that long and aren't that close. Does he just want someone, anyone to talk to, or does he value my opinion/advice, or does he perhaps still have feelings for me?
If a guy shares something personal, does he like you?
