Search Results: kissing with braces

My friend and I graduate in two months. We've been friends all four years but got very close this past year. About a year ago, I realized I had a crush on him. That ended in November when I said it out loud and he friend zoned me.
After that, I tried to be like a dude friend, but he insisted on acting like we always had, play fighting, teasing, being touchy feely, basically doing things I call flirting. In my mind this stuff causes sexual tension, so I don't want to do it if he's not into me. I told him this and he said that's how people act when a crush falls through. I don't get that at all.
Two weeks ago he showed me an old yearbook pic of me he had found and put on his phone. He works in the school lib and I guess went through old yearbooks looking for pix of me. He was showing it to all our friends, looking for some kind of reaction, but no one had one. The pic is from middle school but I think it's cute. I don't have braces anymore, my hair is shorter and I've lost weight, but people, including him, say I'm pretty and cute now.
I just don't understand why he has this pic still and why he shows it to people. I asked him and he said it's funny because I don't look like that anymore. Well, duh. I've seen old dorky pics of him that he's sent me.
Is he trying to make fun of me for how I used to look? If he's not into me, why go to the trouble to look through old yearbooks, take a pic on his phone, show it around and keep it?
When I told him I liked him last fall and tried to kiss him he said we coukd kiss at graduation, as friends. Last week he asked if I still wanted that, but before I could answer, he said he would still go through with it but he was dreading it. So I said forget and got hurt.
Is he just being a giant dick? If he thinks I'm pretty, why would he "dread" one kiss? I fee like he's always trying to neg me and make me feel bad.
What's up with the pic thing? That seems creepy and stalkerish to me. Who does that and wh

My guy friend and I have a stormy relationship. We both are defensive and know how to push each other's buttons. We fight intensely because we are both so stubborn and think we're right but we always make up. The littlest thing I say to him makes him fly off the handle and threaten to not talk to me anymore or to quit all the clubs we do together. Last time I tried to talk to him after he said he couldn't deal with me anymore and he said there was nothing to talk about. That really hurt me because I felt he didn't care about me anymore. Then I sent him this long text saying how I understand his stressful life and I just want to see him more.
We fight mostly because he has so many commitments that I barely see him and he cancels on our school activities sometimes because he has other obligations.

I know we have deep feelings for each other or we'd give up on the relationship. He says he likes to fight with me because it gives him a warm feeling inside. I feel that too, but for me it's passion. Does he mean the same thing? I know when he makes me so mad I either want to choke him or kiss him, or both!

We hug usually twice a day at school. When he hugs other guys and girls, he hugs the guys enthusiastically but the girls in a brotherly way. He and I always hug pressed up against each other's chests, tightly and for at least 5-10 seconds. They seem to go on forever and we usually end up off balance and kind of dancing/wobbling around like drunks. Or he'll hug me aggressively and I have to brace myself to not fall backward. He also rubs his cheek on mine and one day he was tired so I held him and he nuzzled his head on my chest (I have big boobs) while I rubbed his back. He's asked to use my chest as a pillow before.

He's said he loves me and hates me at times, so maybe he's confused? We've said we love each other as friends but I know I'm attracted to him as more. Is it possible that he has feelings for me too? Other guys don't hug me like that.
