I told him I'm starting to have feelings and thoughts I shouldn't, that I felt this wasn't a friendship anymore, that I'll always want the best for him and that I love him (as a friend, even though I have romantic feelings for him)

He answered: koala bear, I never want you feeling like that, I mever want you to feel bad, I didn't expect you would tell me this, you know I get worried and I get uncomfortable talking about this... LET'S TAKE THINGS SLOW, AND EVEN STOP HAVING SEX, WE CAN STILL TALK AND HAVE CONVERSATIONS FROM TIME TO TIME. I never ever want you to be unhappy.

We've known each other for almost 4 years, we used to date at the beginning but both of us weren't ready.

At the beginning of last year, things started to change.
-he became more "lovey dovey"
-said he gets nervous around me
-bought me gifts
-texted me while he was out of the country
-didn't wanted me to leave
-accepted he was jealous that I dated other guys


But for the last months of 2017, he changed more
-he has opened up to me ENTIRELY (just not how he feels about me)
-accepted he had feelings for me at the beginning (which I think and feel he still has)
-says we have a connection
-said he wanted to change and he looked for help (as in therapy for the issues he has)
-says I'm the only one he can talk to
-says I know who and how he is and that he has surrendered to me
-asked if my dad knew about us being "VERY good friends" (he met him at the beginning and my dad didn't approved of him and told him, I belive he was looking for reassurance for that if my dad knew we were friends it was a greenlight)
-sais he's thought about a relationship but gets nervous and backsoff (didn't say with me, but I felt he was talking about us)

And then he throws tantrums about me saying I’m annoying or crazy but when I try to cut him off he’s calling my phone texting my phone? Then will play it off like he doesn’t do it? I then ask why he does this and he will ignore the question. He goes from saying he likes me to hating me? But wants all my attention however acts annoyed when he gets it. I know I’m gonna just ignore him now but any reason why someone would act like that? He’s asking me to buy him stuff too. I got him a gift awhile back for his bday because I thought we were friends and he was nicer but now he’s just abusing his power. And it’s like he thinks I owe it to him. I’ll say something and he will say something mean and I’ll be like quit treating me like a piece of shit during an argument and he said “well you are “ and I looked at him and just got quiet and I was sad and he kept looking over at me to see my reaction. And then hugs me when I leave? It’s like we keep arguing more and more and I don't know why!! An one time he saw someone moment on my photo and he got mad and said “ is that another guy u talk to?” Likeeat?
