He said to me a few months ago that the person asked him if he liked me and he got scared if this person told everyone else.I'm so sick and tired of trying to be friends with him when he literally just blanks me. He doesn't even chill with me being around and he just acts so weird. I don't get why he has to ignore me just to prove that he doesn't like me in that way.Am I overreacting about him ignoring me over that? Do I have the right to be mad at him for ignoring me just because of what he got asked?So what I'm asking is, guys if someone asked you if you liked one of your friends..would you ignore them and be awkward? Or just forget what that other person asked you and carry on as being friends? Reply to this Question

 I might have reacted that way when I was 15 or 16. But back then I felt really conflicted about the opposing forces of trying to look cool and trying to be content with life. I couldn't say if that's what's going on in his head, but it might give you something to start with.
He's probably not trying to hurt your feelings, and is instead reacting to his own normal, human insecurities.
If you want to help your guy friend out, tell him the best solution to something like that is to sarcastically agree, then make a joke carrying out the statement to its logical conclusion - for instance, in this case, respond with, "Yup. Got the ring picked out and everything. Just need to find a place to keep our cats." Then go on about your business as if nothing happened. If they persist, tell them they're not funny (the tone is important - you want to say it as if you were trying to help *them* avoid embarrassment, not as if you were trying to avoid it yourself). Live and learn.

 Intersting when i was in highschool one of my freinds asked me if i liked her of course I denied even though i was madly in love with her. I didnt ignore her though i told her i liked her as a friend and we carried on as freinds.
