Why Is My Guy Friend Drifting Apart From Me?

[ilovecheese]

So me and this guy have been good friends for about a year now. We hangout, have a laugh and we really just are great friends. I used to have a little crush on him but I didn’t think he felt the same way so I kinda forced myself to get over it. Now i recently started dating this guy who asked me out. And ever since i did my guy friend has been distancing himself from me. It honestly hurts me so much because idk why he is and i miss him. What should i do?

Ask him

If he knows you are seeing someone else maybe he doesn't like it and possibly thought you were more than friends

Go eat cheese. You didn't have more than a little crush and now you are missing him. If I was young again I would avoid someone like you. Of course, it's easy for an old man like me to be a bit cynical, but one day you'll be an old woman and then you might understand what this old man said to you many years ago.
Despite the above, I wish you well and hope you have a good life. X

Has your boyfriend warned him off?
Was he playing gooseberry? Was you boring him by talking about your boyfriend all the time?
Has he got himself a girlfriend?
Was he hoping to take things further with you?
Has he started a new job/course/hobby/sport and doesn't have as much free time?
Why do you think we would have any idea why someone we have no knowledge of is behaving like this?
