Ok so I have a friend we are both in our 40s. I've liked him liked him for several years but we were never single at the same time. He knows this.
Last Christmas we fell out as he was just out of a relationship and sent me a few mixed messages. I kept my distance.
This Christmas we get talking again, had a bit of a laugh about falling out and I invited him round to my house for drinks 2 days ago.
The evening went well we talked about loads of stuff, he remembered conversations we had before. he invited me round to his place to look at work he'd done. we talked about it not being a one night thing & I said about him being only the second person I slept with.
We dtd, it was nice and not just a shag iykwim.
I text him the next day with a fruity reference and got polite answers + a vague agreement to meet next week. It wasn't curt but it seemed distant. I text happy NY & got a polite reply but no conversation.
I am really emotional today, think I'm being blown out. Haven't had much experience of all this so don't know if I'm overthinking.
