What more can I do?

He asked me if I had feelings for him in a playful way and I told him yes. He never told me how he felt. All he said was was that he hopes it would not hurt our relationship as friends. Things have become strange between us since then. That was a year ago and he continues to to send me mixed signals. He acts like he has feelings for me some days and ignores me other days. I recently told him how I am happy that we are good friends and that I would not trade him for anybody and he has been ignoring me ever since. That was a month ago and even though he will barely talk to me, he gets overprotective when guys talk to me. I keep trying to get close to him again but it is like he reels me in then pushes me away again. I am so afraid to say something to him about it because I do not want to make things uncomfortable for him again. I am getting so sick of this whiplashing he is giving me though.

What should I do? He is a very good friend that I do not want to lose but on the other hand, I really want to know how he feels about me.

What an odd friend you got.

Just confront him. Ask him what the hell he’s doing. Tell him that you’ve been friends a long time, but you’re upset because he keeps acting so bipolar. It’s the only way to get things to change.

That’s so weird, i’m going through the exact same thing! I don’t understand why guys can’t man up and just say how they feel. If my guy was honest to begin with then I wouldn’t be in this mess and the same goes for you too. I’m so sorry :(
