I'll do my best to remember that, especially when he now sometimes suddenly withdraws a little after being warm/attentive (he used to not do that before so it throws me off and makes me feel like I need to give him space as a result:sweatsmile:). He does seem to over-analyze things sometimes and...

That's true, the way things are now is significantly better than I (and people I confided in) expected things to turn out (since the best I initially expected from him was to be civil but cold) so I'm very relieved that we're still genuinely friends and mutually care about each other. It's...

An update on how things turned out weeks later if anyone cares to know :sweatsmile:: TL;DR (ish): He and I were very awkward and he was timid for a while but things went a lot better than I expected and currently things are roughly how they used to be and I know from actions and words we both...

Before this all happened, I would have been quite certain about wanting to date him if he was interested but it's because of how his behaviour suddenly changed the way that it did, I became really unsure and eventually decided it would be a bad idea. If he wanted more and was trying to hint it...

Yeah, I decided that after sending that message to him I would just leave it and let him act however he wants, I'm just confused by how he made an effort to message me at first even though he ended the dialogue pretty angrily and now that I've initiated, he's acting like this. Whatever it is...

He replied as soon as he got home from work and it seemed friendly at first but then the 2nd half of the message was a little mixed/cold and thanked me for letting him know even though he already knew. I saw and replied when I woke up the next day that I also hoped he was enjoying his holiday...

Thanks for the input ^_^ It seems he's tried to re-initiate contact but yes you're right, if we manage to move on from this but in future he acts like this again, I fully intend on asking him as soon as it happens or if he treats me badly, I'll just distance myself to prevent a repeat which he...

Hahaha you have a point and that's not annoying at all, thanks for the input! I apologized because I felt it was the right thing for me to do so apologizing wasn't that big of a deal to me :'D The situation may have changed a little and now I'm not sure if I should re-initiate contact since he...

You're right, I can only do my best to set a good example and hope he also does the same, but if not then I shouldn't blame myself. I'll give myself some space to bring my focus away from him to focus better on myself if the situation really calls for it. I'll do my best, thanks for the advice...

My bad, I interpreted it as being a general message "just do things that are productive or make you happy and don't overthink this" and I meant that while this is something I might have to deal with again eventually, I know for now there's nothing to be done and have been doing other things...

I'm actually not worried about me being civil at uni, but whether I think he can without being awkward about it, I'm not too sure. We had a lot of trust (or at least he trusted me enough to share very personal things) and care towards each other (we both made active efforts to make the other...

Also just an update on the situation: Once I realised he blocked my messages, I did the same but only so the conversation would be moved to message requests so I wouldn't be wondering if he "read" my message or not. I continued having conversations with our other friends in our large group chat...

Hahaha, I understand sometimes there's not much you can do except be passive aggressive, I still do that sometimes but it's because I don't see the issue worth having a serious discussion about :P I was just disappointed he didn't feel like he could tell me when I told him multiple times when...

There's not much I can do at this stage until I see how he treats me when uni starts so I've been trying to do that actually, thanks for the advice :P

Haha, I sort of agree, my self esteem/self worth was a little crushed from the experience, since I began to doubt everything about myself and wondered if it was solely my fault among other things. I think if I hadn't overestimated his level of maturity and had immediately confronted addressed...
