Search Results: arguing with my best guy friend

So, years ago we dated for a really short time. Recently, we got in touch again and were flirting back and forth.

Just 2 weeks ago, I ran into him when he was at his work (supermarket). He chatted away and joked with me quite happily. I then left his work and headed up home. And I ended up texting him.

After his work, he decided to walk up past my house and text me saying he was outside. Sure enough? He was outside. So I went out to say hi.

Then, we chatted again, he let me hear a new song he'd written, and decided to hug me before I went back inside. He stretched his arms wide and then wrapped them right around my waist... our bodies were touching fully and I even let him feel my butt as we hugged. It was pretty intense.

However, when we got home, we ended up arguing over something that had happened in the past and I got confused over our hug. So he said it was better to just be friends. I told him he shouldn't have hugged me and he apologised.

However, the same thing almost happened again a few nights ago. I had an interview for a new job coming up and I ended up running into him again. This time, I was with my sister.

Before I left to go home, he wished me all the very best. I had a bunch of groceries in my right hand, so he stretched out one arm for a hug. And I returned a one arm hug. This time, our genitals didn't touch or anything, but he stroked my back heavily as he hugged me. It still felt strangely intimate.

My younger sister even commented on the hug saying 'it was like he was giving you a back massage there!'

So yeah, I'm confused because his words and actions are not matching up. Any opinions?

I really like this guy (2 years older than me) and everyone found out and started teasing me then my friends started bugging him and posting stuff on Instagram to do with me liking him and tagging him (without my consent) so this annoyed him and he told me nothing would ever happen between us but we went back to being friends... then again he told me nothing would ever happen between us a few months later and asked me to try and get over him because he was angry. First question, did he say that out of anger? Both times he told me that, it ended with us arguing but then going back to being friends. Even after all that happened, he's still really sweet to me and to make it even more weird, he stares at me quite a bit. Like the last time I saw him, my friend and I walked in and he immediately turned and looked at us and he was saying something to one of his best friends (a girl) and his brother. It was his birthday yesterday and I said happy birthday with an x at the end of my message and he replied with "HAHAHAHA. Thank you!!!" which wasn't a bad reply cause he was nice about it. Anyway, if he has no feelings whatsoever, why would he stare at me so much? And why would he be so nice to me? I feel like he just said nothing would happen cause he was mad, cause we're barely gonna see each other anymore and cause of our age difference? If so, what should I do?
