The two friends I've talked to about the situation have been saying to just give him space. One friend keeps saying I need to give him a couple months without contacting him, but I think she's just being optimistic. She talks about how friends ebb and flow. She's also the one who thinks that because he texted me back that we're still friends. I don't agree with her. Reading about how to deal with men though, and how they're different than women, I've seen articles say that men will pull away if they feel someone is being too needy or getting too much in their space, so for men they say to back off.

For me though, I've never been good at giving myself closure when situation hasn't been closed, so I guess I feel like I need to get answers more for me, so if this is the end of the friendship, I can move on.
