Search Results: telling a guy you like him

I have this male friend, and we agreed to keep it at this level after telling him I liked him. Keep in mind he mentioned not being attracted to me in that way. I've moved on with my feelings, but interestingly, he gets jealous about me being around other men. Like when we are in a social setting and I am talking to a guy, romantically or not, he interjects himself in the conversation. Or even when I talk about my other male friends he visibly gets jealous and disinterested. Its weird because he's in a relationship but acting like this. You would think being my friend would mean encouraging me to explore romantic options and letting me talk to other guys. I understand male friends could be protective but there's a difference between being protective and being jealous. So am I being dramatic or is it possible he may be attracted?

In my country, guys prefer girls with the same profession. This is the biggest reason I chose my job, even though I hate having to constantly prove my competence. I remember telling my parents as a teenager that I wanted to be a housewife, and they told me to forget about marrying an urban guy. I’m surprised to read that some men from other parts of the world say they want a homemaker.
