Search Results: pushing him away

This guy is such a disappointment to me. I have known him for years. He's changed and I don't like it. The attraction just sparked one day. I think he gets some kind of kick out of making me jealous. I just feel like he's pushing me away. I don't respond well to this kind of tactic. I never thought he was like this.

So I have this girl that’s one of my close friends we do flirt quite a lot but she’s 7 years older than me so we both said the age thing is too much and made it clear that we’re just friends which is cool with me. Anyway in the past she told me that I’m her first ever real guy friend, I asked why is that? She said that all the guys she was ever friends with made the move on her or got girlfriends and they stop them from seeing her. Which she said was really hurtful. I said if I ever got a girlfriend that told me to drop my friends I wouldn’t let it happen. But she said it’s different aswell when your guy friend gets a girlfriend that she wouldn’t feel comfortable going on our mate dates or texting me all the time like we do. I told her not to be silly but I’ve started dating someone and told my friend about. I was a bit nervous to tell her but she was really supportive and said that she’s happy for me.

However she’s being really distant with me. In college she’s not joking around with me as much or texting me. She’s told me secrets she’s never told anyone and I’ve done the same so i have that trust in her that I don’t have with anyone else and feels shit to think she’s pushing me away as her friend. Has this ever happened to anyone and what do I do?
