what do you make of this /adv?
friend i've recently reconnected with said to me while we were both drunk that he ''feels a little in love with me'' whenever we hang out and that he ''likes me too much'' (to pursue anything i guess?) when i confessed i still liked him. we've got history and it was messy, but for some reason we stuck together. we care about each other and so lately we've been hanging out again and it's been going well.
fast forward a few days later and he says he mostly sees me as a friend and that that is all he wants. i'm ok with that, but still our chemistry is really good and it doesn't feel completely platonic. i definitely get that a-little-in-love vibe he was talking about.
i just don't really understand how he feels about me. it wouldn't change anything, but to me it feels like something doesn't add up? what are your thoughts? has anyone ever felt like this about someone?
Do him and then run! Sounds like a headfuck and not worth screwing your brain over.

MY thought is he does feel "that way" 'bout you. Its not what he wants, but thats the way it is. The chemistry is probably what makes conversation flow. the "likes you too much" is saying we are supposed to be friends but instead we feel like lovers.
On the flip side he is wary of indulging in you for some reason. Maybe its that "messy" shit from before. Maybe he is afraid of being vulnerable you for another reason. This isnt unreasonable, people hurt people meaning to or not. Dont even have to DO anything, it could just be being uneasy about the possibility being there.

Yeah, I shouldn't be picking it apart, you're right about that.

Yeah, I think I agree. I don't know exactly what's going on, but his feelings probably aren't 100% platonic. That's all I need to know, I think. He said he doesn't want to be in relationship, for various reasons and he's afraid he'd hurt me, so you're right about that.

Not just you but himself he may be afraid of hurting.
Guys done like to show vulnerability but they are still there.
Its probably as simple as "i like her, but shit will be super painful, lets dodge it"

Funny, he did say something like that I remember now. He said he finally feels good about himself. I wouldn't want to fuck that up either. Thanks for your input!
