A male friend at work, we used to be really close and then I started getting fuck off vibes from him, not quite sure why. Nothing romantic ever happened.
He messaged me on my birthday but that's it tbh, he used to message me first a lot of the time but then it had to be me who messaged him or he wouldn't.
If I saw him around the office he was friendly but I didn't know if he was just pretending to be polite.
I was upset, I know he doesn't owe me anything but I couldn't understand why he was doing this.
He also started ignoring a few messages so I just thought there's really no point.
He used to want to meet up but no longer seemed interested.
I saw him in the town centre after work today with another male colleague, but I figured it was pointless to go over, and I didn't think they'd seen me so I carried on walking.
About 5 minutes later, I looked around and he was there behind me on his own, I'm not sure if he tried to catch up with me or not.
Anyway he explained he'd been with our other colleague initially, and I replied I'd seen them. He said 'well why didn't you come say hi ".
I ended up telling him how I felt, not in a having a go way but that I was always getting go away vibes from him and that it seemed kinda pointless, and that his avoidance had upset me a little even though he didn't owe me anything.
He insisted it was absolutely nothing against or about me whatsoever and that he had been the same with others. He was really apologetic and said if I ever wanted to meet up for a drink like we used to then we should.
He texted me when I got home to explain again and ask if I was ok. I told him it was all cool and not to worry, it was fine.
I don't know if what he said is true and I never will but it doesn't matter, I guess he felt guilty and I put him on the spot.
Maybe I should've said nothing?
I don't know, I wasn't like aggressive or nasty, I preferred just being honest.
