He's always had a joking somewhat corny personality but the last couple of weeks he's been definitely doing a lot more joking around/flirting and seems awkward around me at times, hurt if I don't talk to him, etc. Anyone I tell his actions to, including guys, feels that he probably liked me. Also, whenever my one friend implies to him that she feels he likes me he'll blush, get nervous and try to get her to shut up. Here's where it gets weird... Frank will pretty much never text me first, which I don't understand in itself. Secondly, he told my friend the other day that he agrees that there's a connection with me and him - then the next day he asked her out! (she said no, because of me) but seriously, what's his problem? Maybe he doesn't think I could like him, or does it sound like he's leading me on? and how should I handle this with him?

i dont think hes leading you on i think hes confused. maybe he does like you but hes the type that cant come straight out with it and uses strange behavouir (such as 'moving on' with your mate) as a way of throwing you off the scent or using it to get a reaction, whatever his motives try and understand him. its difficult that he cant be open and honest about how hes feeling as its leading to so many possibilities and unless you ask him outstraight your not going to get the truth. Your mates, its a different situation i know but talk to him naturally, i think right now he needs a bit of guidance and support. people handle how they really feel and how they show it differently. You wont know the truth unless you ask the man himself, even then it may take time. best of luck - go for it in one
