Bernard - LOL tell me about it ffs. The fact that I stuck around for so long putting up with his shit is beyond belief. I hope he bloody realises everything is awkward now because of his inability to act mature. It's been one heck of an emotional roller coaster

So_very_confused - I don't think you understand what I'm saying. I'm not surpressing any type of feeling and yes, I have asked him why he's being funny. He IGNORES me!! I have asked soooo many times and he still continues the way he does. I'm not afraid to speak to him or make an effort. I'm afraid I've lost my friendship because of the way he behaves towards me

So_Very_Confused agony auntNO you’re not listening… I said your feelings are your feelings they are neither right or wrong they just ARE…. What you do with them is the right and wrong… FEEL what you like… please… don’t suppress FEELINGS that’s not healthy…

WHY is he acting funny with you? You will have to ask him…. If you are too afraid to ask him what’s up with his behavior that alone tells you that this is not a healthy relationship. BEING afraid to talk to someone you are friends with is NEVER a good sign.

I’m sorry you have lost your friend…

Well if someone ignores you for such a long time and you think everything is fine, but then they act off with you...are you telling me you wouldn't be mad? He talks to me and then acts as though somethings wrong by ignoring me next time. That's just confusing. Why is he just acting funny with me? Surely, he should just come round by now and just let things go and be a friend to me? I hate this situation. I'm gonna leave things how they are and walk away.

My friendship has gone :(

So_Very_Confused agony auntDo you have the RIGHT to be mad? Feelings are just that feelings… there is no right or wrong to them.

If he acts awkward with you that’s ON HIM not you. Sounds like he likes you but is not mature enough to deal with it…

I think it sounds like he likes you but he's afraid you don't feel the same way. I could be wrong but that's what I get from it.

Thanks for the responses.

Okay...does it sound like he likes me/wants it to be serious or not??

I'm not even joking..I don't understand a word he says because he's too complicated. One minute he's flirting/opening up to me...next it's blowing hot and cold then it starts all over again.

He said that he enjoys the flirting but know that bd can trust me.

I said I was joking and he said he doesn't think I'm being honest. Then he said if we both weren't being serious that's the problem.

Meaning what exactly??

Ciar agony auntHe's concerned that unless both parties are flirting for the same reason someone is going to end up hurt. However I can't tell if he is looking out for you or himself.

If you don't like him as anything more than a friend I suggest you not risk exposing him to rejection and humiliation by asking if he fancies you. If you want friends only then tell him casually, but clearly that you're just joking. If he does have a crush on you, saying it this way gives him a chance to save face by saying he's only joking too.

Sounds like he may be wondering whether he has feelings for you and if you have feelings for him.

Just ask him if he finds you attractive or is sexually attracted to you. Simple enough.

baybee-x-sparkii agony auntSounds to me like he's scared of yours and his feelings, if things are serious from either end then you need a chat me thinks! Its best that your both on the same page, because if your both not joking and you think you are, you could be about to miss out on something good!
