Okay. Let's use fake names.

Boyfriend: Sam.
Best friend: Casey.
Close friend: Mel.
Boy: Jake.

Sam and I broke up over the summer. I developed minuscule feelings for a friend, Jake, but it was really more the fact that he could make me laugh and forget I was sad, than anything.

I told Jake so, and he told me he didn't feel anything except friendship for me, which I was hoping for (I only told him because it was bothering me).

Jake and I don't hang out often or talk all that much, but he and Mel do. They like each other, but they aren't going out.

I got over these tiny feelings for Jake. I crushed them, ate them, digested them and they exited like all garbage is thrown out of your body.

Jake knows that Sam and I are back together. Though as of late, we've been talking more and more, but that's all him. I basically ignore him on my instant messenger list, since we haven't really got anything to talk about, anymore.

We had a get together at Mel's house, me, him, Casey and a couple of other friends.

Jake was playing the guitar, but he kept looking up at me, to check if I was watching him. I'd notice that if I glanced over at Casey or Mel, who were sitting near him.

When we were sitting around, Jake would always be tickling me more than he would be Casey. o_o

And when we walked outside for a bit, he basically threw me into the snow and and did nothing about his friend carry Mel, the girl he supposedly has great feelings for, down the street.

When I left, he asked me "Hey, where's my hug?" and demanded one.

Am I being conceited/paranoid for noting all these things?

This guy is hard for me to read, and I don't want to be accidentally doing things to make any situation worse, because I like him as a friend, and no more than that.

Sigh.

Help? \:

It might just be his idea of not being able to have you that makes him pay more attention to you. /cliche.

[fairytale-magic]

I hope not. x__x

I hate that cliché. I hate all clichés for being right, but that's why they're cliché.

I hate that one the most. <~<

[LittleMissSunshi...]

you really need to talk to him. i mean if you guys could talk about other things and he made you happy, i'm pretty sure you can talk to him about what's going on your relationship with him. i think that he just doesn't want to lose you.. like as a best friend or something. but it seems like he's giving it in a flirty way. you must talk to him if anything possible

[fairytale-magic]

It feels so.. weird asking him about this, though.
I found out today from Casey.. That when I left, he was flirting with Mel, a lot.

But whenever I'm around and Mel is around, he's always hovering over my side, or paying attention to me and I find it a bit odd that ONLY when I'm gone, he'd flirt with her.

He's such a difficult person. That doesn't help. x_x

Some guys only like you when you're taken, but when you're single it's like, urm, rememberrrr, we're only frienddddds.

It bugs me but hey what can you do. I suggest staying away till he gets over his weirdness.

[datass]

maybe he just like the attention you would give him. he's an attention seeker, and really an ***hole. if he knows that you're back together with sam, then he needs to get his hands off of you, for reals. he obviously does not care about how this makes you feel awkward or uneasy, and not respecting your choice of choosing sam.
