Does he not even want to be my friend anymore..?

Question

I had a little fling with this guy, we were friends because he was dating my best friend (yeah i know, you're not spose to get with your friends exes, but that's not what this post is about so please save your lectures, as if i haven't heard it). but i told him i liked him and i couldn't keep fooling around with him if he didn't have any feelings back, and he said he just wanted to be friends. but now we basically don't even talk! what the h**l? did i scare him away because i said i liked him? i really really really just want him in my life! idc if we're just gonna be friends, i'm fine with that, i just want him around. or should i give up and just not bother with him like he doesn't seem to bother with me? should i really give up on a person that i love? (not IN love, but i love him, ya know? like a brother, a friend). i don't know. i feel pathetic, this hurts.

Answer 1

sounds like a tough situation just call text him or w.e. and ask why you havent talked in a while and take it from there.  

Answer 2

It seems to me that maybe he was a little overwhelmed by the fact that you had feelings besides friendship for him, especially if he was dating your friend at the time you told him. He probably felt unsure of what to do; maybe he liked you but he didn't want to be unfaithful to your friend and break her heart. That would somewhat explain why he's sort of ignoring you; maybe being around you brings out his feelings for you and he feels unfaithful to his girlfriend.

The only way you'll know for sure is to ask him.
