Best friend hurt my feeling advice?

[Anonymous]

I think the main thing he remembers absolutely everything that I have told him about my life whether it was a mention of something or he found out through a conversation with our friends or it just happened to pop up. He ran down my entire resume the other day with me because I told him I worked at a job and he was trying to figure out when I started working there. I was really surprised because one time he showed up at my job ran into me pretending that he was just randomly buying something (he's not a stalker but I think he really gets interested when it comes to me). When we are together in social situations he never fails to check in on me or spend time with me because he knows how socially awkward I can feel (one time he sat next to me the entire night and even bought me my own arcade card so he could walk around and play games with me ). We used to hang out a lot but stopped because his friends kept trying to put us together which I was not ready for so I distanced myself which I feel like he can't understand because he wants to talk to me more and get to know me but I'm not ready to date or get close to anyone and it's something that I keep friend zoning him hard because he kept trying to get out of it and get to know me but I'm not having it. Now he doesn't even talk to me and he decided he wants to move away and doesn't pay attention to me which it doesn't bother me as much but I don't want him to think that I am a horrible friend because I'm friend zoning him. I know he has trouble with insecurity and feeling that women are using him but I am just not feeling this and now I feel like he is trying to move on and forget me but I don't want to lose him as a friend and feel bad because I broke his heart. He didn't even tell me that he was leaving which broke my heart because I thought we were closer than this I found out through our friends so I left without saying goodbye to him we didn't leave on a bad note it just hurts cause its like "so this is how it is?

The hardest thing to deal with in relationships is when someone doesn't choose you. Plus you are close on every other level when you are friends. Personally devastating. There is nothing you can do. Being around you is a personal reminder that he is not good enough for you romantically. It may change one day but even then it will be weird and not what you remembered. Him falling in love with you changed the effort dynamic of your friendship. It will never be the same even if stays on life support. Time to live and learn that things end. For both of you.

Relationships can be as twisty as a pretzel. It seems like he's trying to navigate his feelings, with a side of keeping you in the loop. Totally get that you're not ready to step things up. Next steps? Communication is magic, my friend! Let him know you value his friendship, while keeping clear you're not ready to change the status quo. He might be trying a little ghosting to protect himself, but staying honest and gentle could help mend those heartstrings without any nasty knots. Keep those goodbyes for people who deserve them! ✨💙
