I've known this guy for about two years and we became pretty good friends until we lost contact for a while. Well about four months ago I hit him up on facebook to see how he was doing because him and his ex had split up after being together for 8 years and we just continued talking after that. It started out all fun and flirty. We texted everyday, exchanged sexy pictures and always joked about sex, but it was said from the beginning that neither of us wanted anything serious at the moment because we had both just gotten out of long relationships. It was more than just sexual though, in the time that we have been talking we have become best friends. However, the first time we hungout we almost had sex and probably would have if we didn't have an issue with the alcohol. That was all good and fine, we still cuddled that night like it was nothing. The next day everything was still good, we woke up, went to lunch, and when we got back to my place we almost had sex again after a game of strip poker but had no condom. We just chilled for the rest of the day, but he was really touchy. Like we were sitting on my bed and he kept rubbing my legs and stuff, not in a perverted way though. And then we had a really long hug before he finally left. A few days after that I texted him and told him that I liked him but he had nothing to worry about because I wasn't looking for more than friendship I just thought he should know. He was cool about it, he just told me that he thinks we are better off as friends and he wanted to ho around since he never got the chance to do so before and what happened would probably never happen again because he didn't want to ruin our friendship and he felt kind of weird after. We ended up hanging out that same day because he just so happened to be in town (he lives 3 hours away btw) and everything was fine. We went to lunch and then visited with his mom for awhile and then he left. It's been about a two months or so since all of that happened and we're still cool, we still talk quite a bit, but it's not the same. He has a job now so that may be part of it, but it feels like more than that. In the beginning he told me that he felt like we were getting closer and it kinda scared him, so maybe that has something to do with it. I sent him a message a while back asking why he felt weird afterward and he said that it just wasn’t right and he regretted taking it there. If that's the case though why did it not just happen the one time? Even through all my crazy he still talks to me like it doesn't bother him. Yesterday we were talking about how I had no plans for my birthday and he said this "What's wrong with ya hit up one of those dudes you're playin hahaha" He knows I'm not the player type, so was that just a subtle way of asking if I had someone or something. I think he's shown signs that he likes me, but ever since all of that happened its really hard to tell. I would like for something more to happen between us one day, and I think it's possible, but I honestly don't know if really just sees me as a friend. What do you think?
