Search Results: dating friends friendship

He's leaving town at the end of the month. After he notified me last mo., we agreed to continue dating for a couple more weeks. it's felt like things have been really nice despite having a limited amount of time left. He initiates for us to go out, we make love every time, he's sweet as usual... But today i had a Valentine's party I'd been planning for months. We texted earlier in the day and he said we should go an hour early and spend time together because I would be busy during the party, attending to guests. So i went, and he never showed up. When his brother, his wife, their baby and my bf's friend showed up 30 mins later, they asked me where he was. he hadn't contacted any of us, so we all got a bit worried. then, near the end of the party he finally texts me back, saying his female friend - who he seems to spend a lot of time with, at least since she broke up with someone - needed him (for god knows what) and that he was with her. I never questioned their friendship before, but he knows i'd been planning this party for months and he was the one who offered to meet an hour earlier to help me prep. I texted him once i got home (the gist of the text): why is it that ur brother, his wife and ur friend came on time and they had to ask me where u were? U should have at least texted me back. We were supposed to meet an hr before the party. He isn't responding.

We are in high school. We have a complicated past because I was rude to him saying he’s not my friend yet he dealt with the worst of me and stick around. I also told him I liked him and he said he doesn’t like me. So I decided to accept that and move on because I didn’t want to lose our friendship. We ain’t close so we don’t talk much. When we do, it’s over text and about me opening up to him about my issues because he said he always there for me. He highlights every long paragraph I wrote ranting my life problems and hope I have better days. He read all the crap I write on my private story and sometimes swipe up. In fact one time, he swiped up when I was getting ready for a date and asked: "Who are you dating?".

But the thing is he doesn’t want to be close friends. I thought maybe he doesn’t want to be close because we are not there yet. We don’t really talk daily you know?

But a month later he started acting strange by smiling a lot & staring at me all the time everyday, even my friend noticed. He always trying to listen to my conversations with other people. He never approach me. I approached him one time to ask how it’s going and he smiled. Now it’s like I am just a classmate. Didn’t show any type of interest. Didn’t even look at me. Etc.. Like? We sat together because of a school project. I tried talking to him but he said we have nothing to talk about as of now. He even caught me glancing at him and immediately look away. Only made eye contacts when we were talking. I know that he’s still care about me due to the fact, he becomes alert when I am talking. I also cried in class today and I saw that his eyes shows that he cared.

I don’t understand boys tbh. Why is hiding that he cares? He knows me. He can show that he cares about me as a friend like why you gotta stare instead🤨

FYI: his parents don’t let him date and how he also doesn’t want a girlfriend right now because he wants to focus on other things.
