I've become very close friends to a guy I've known for some time. We've been friends a few years but the emotional closeness has really increased recently in terms of what we share about ourselves and how often we talk/see each other/communicate. For example he's messaged me every day this week and suggested we meet up for a drink yesterday, which we did.
BUT I've noticed over the last few times I've seen him - and was very apparent yesterday - that he's really putting more physical distance between us, to the point of sitting at a far side of the table rather than beside me for example. We've never been touchy-feeley or anything and we still have really good conversations etc, they are just from the far side of the table. It's almost awkward. We used to end our catch-ups with a short hug but recently it's like we have a nice time but once we're done he goes to lengths to avoid a hug and can't get away quickly enough.
I thought I was overthinking it but is really is such a change I'm starting to wonder if I smell or something. Or have terrible breath. Who knows!
Has anyone else experienced this?
