Search Results: ex wants to be close with my new friend

I met him 8 years ago. I have a feeling he likes me more than friends. When we first met, we went clubbing and he held my hand the whole night and wrapped his hands around me. He likes to put his head on my shoulder. He tried to kiss my cheeks two birthdays in a row. Life happened. He never took the step to approach me. I never did anything to approach him either. We both met someone else. He has been single for 1 year now and I’m recently single.

After the break up, I decided to contact him. We talked for hours on the phone. He told me that he would NEVER talk to girl for this long unless he’s interested. We have been going to movies and dinner alone. I met someone new and he never took a step forward. I went for the other guy and we broke up after 6 months.

Once, he purposely came earlier to my house than my friends. He wanted me to cook dinner & have a few drinks. Even my friend thought it was weird. I posted photos of us hugging and getting close on social media. He liked one of the photos. A lot of people thinks that we’re dating & he’s okay with it.

We went drinking last week and got drunk. He had his arms wrapped around me. My ex texted me wanting to see me. He saw and he grabbed my phone from my hand and messaged my ex i don’t want to see you. I was mad @ him. He then came to me, grabbed my arms, and told me if I can start focusing him instead of my ex. He then forced me to go to his friend’s house to chill. Both his friends were talking about how we should totally date and making fun of us. We took a cab home. He held my hand in the cab. I asked why are we holding hands and if he’s taking advantage of me. He said it’s mutual. He then rest his head on my shoulders. He said to me, “can you not treat me so good?” The next day, he texted me & I didn’t reply. He then sent me a snap-chat photo with a message saying that he’s having a hangover. I replied him but he did not respond. Am I thinking too much? 2 of our mutual friends thinks that he likes me.
