God I feel so shi t right now

I guess a friendship that's complicated and tipped.
Good friends for 18 months. I've supported him, he has me.
We text most days. Have same interests in books music tv . Everything.
We .meet once a week and have done for last year for chat. Instigated equally.
Last week, we had a disagreement. He let me down at the last minute. I was cross as was a poor exuse. ( forgot he had a job iinterview) i was on route .I had a busy day. He is mr organised. It didn't ring true..
I told him. Words were exchanged. All okish by friday. No word over weekend. Chatty text yesterday.

Tuesday. it's our normal day to meet .He is too 'busy '. No suggestion of another time.
He then sent me me picture of him out on a dog walk with the caption. Making new friends. .. He doesn't have many friends so...
I've realised I care and feel shitty as feel he's met somelne. I kniwhim. This is a telltale sign.. I'm not a gameplayer and would rather know then be kept dangling.
So I've (after wine)_said cuppa tomorrow? No worries if you're busy but will leave it to you.
If he's evasie. That's it. I guess it's his last chance after 2 d let downs. It's an intense friendship. I have feelings i now know this.and think if He cares about me hell be there tomorrow. The pic today felt like a challenge of a try to make me jealous. It's always hard summing up when you're describing to strangers but that's my but feeling .
I feel bereft as it feels over. I do feel more than friendship but won't cling on it he's not interested. my answer will come tomorrow. Just feel low. Unrequited feelings. Shit.

Completely agree with @ShatnersWig. I’ve had a very good male friend for almost 20 years, we’ve both been single for long periods and nothing has ever happened between us, nor has it even crossed our minds. I have several other long standing male friends too (and yes, I am attractive).

I find that utterly bizarre Mummy that you avoid your male friends if you’re single or if they start talking to you about having an argument with their partner. Maybe, as a friend, they just want someone to moan to and get some advice/a sympathetic ear? Telling your friends about your relationship problems isn’t having an emotional affair ffs!

I’m just saying it confuses matters. I was seeing someone a few years ago who had a female friend and ended up sleeping with her on a night out after we had an argument about something. And I have had male friends ask me to “come home” with them after nights out but that’s my experience and everyone has different experiences. This post just confirms that once again someone has caught feelings for a friend of the opposite sex.

I know he blew you out, but the dog still has to be walked. Could the “making friends” refer to the dog meeting other dogs? It’s the sort or thing daft “dog people” (I’m one of them!) say.

Perhaps you should be candid with him and take it from there. I’d be wary of attempting a platonic friendship though, you’d find it difficult to suppress your feelings and you’d end up hurt and envious if he met someone else. You need to be prepared to cut him loose if he tells you that your feelings are unreciprocated.
