Whew, I'm glad I logged in, it's been a while. First off Panda girl, slow down. I can relate to your line of thinking because I've been there. But I've learned that people can not see through me as much as I think they can. Most likely this guy that's friends with the guy you were falling for had no real idea and actually really does like you and is vying for your attention becazuse guys see things very stragith forward. He likes you, and his friend isn't dating you (yet) so he's going to try and date you. He might actually think perhaps you like him more than his friend. Who knows. It's hard to live your life by trying to guage others thoughts and feelings. I know it may hard and tough to do, but if you actually ask him how he feels about you, it will actually be like a weight off your shoulders because then your actually know and gan go from there without the constant anxiety of always trying to figure people out on your own with no info to go on. Creating a dialogue ( amore deeper and open one) can be very helpful.
