    Friendship problems

    Okay, so right in the beginning of the year I met this guy during orientation at our University. At first we didn't talk very much to each other. I was extremely nervous, awkward and kept to myself. At this point I was still in the closet, and didn't do much outside of the home, I didn't even have my first drink yet. Fast forward through orientation, which lasted two weeks, because we were both in a program that offered first year students a head start before classes officially begun. When classes started, I walked into my first lecture hall and everyone from my orientation was surprisingly in my class, this is where we started becoming more close and we exchanged numbers.

    All through September we would constantly be together during the day, mind you we had two classes together a week, but we were probably hanging out more then I realized because it did start to effect my grades.. I started to develop feelings for him, which I eventually told him how I felt... He told me that he didn't feel the same, and I asked him if he wanted space because I probably made things really awkward and he constantly told me that he didn't, and we were fine... We never spoke about this again until last month.. This is where I came out to my family as gay, and he was very supportive.

    Through the first semester, we probably spoke everyday and had lunch together almost every second day, which got expensive because we would always eat out. We started going to the bar on campus, that's where I had my first drink, which led me to my first time being at a gay bar, mind you that I still had feelings for him, and he probably knew that too. We got into an argument that night, about something so stupid, which had made me believe he purposely trying to argue with me. I did get jealous when he would talk to other guys, but that's not what we argued about, and I didn't tell him that I was jealous.


    Anyways, are friendship always seems off and on. There's days we talk, and there's days where he'll be in a mood and walk right past me like I'm not even there. I have asked him many times if he doesn't want to be my friend, or maybe we need space or anything else that is bothering him, that he should tell me, but he always gets mad, and says no, that there's nothing wrong.
    I no longer have feelings for him, but I do cherish our friendship. When we're drunk at a bar, we do hold hands and hug probably more then is appropriate. Our friendship is weird. Right now, we're in a good place we haven't argued in a long time, and tomorrow we're going out to one of my favorite bars.

    Has anyone had a friend like this before? I personally never had friends, or gave anyone my time during high school, so this was all really new to me. Is this a weird friendship, or do friends behave like this all the time?

    Maybe that is just his personality, I know a couple of people who are like that. Just give him space and if he wants the friendship to continue he will put an effort

    Things that may bother him is that you ask if you don't want to be friends anymore, it may put him in a state of mind that thinks you only want to date him, or nothing. It's good to keep close to friends, but also have time away, which is why it's good to have other friends to talk to.
