We were more than friends and we can talk about anything under the sun, including crushes and family secrets.
We had a heated argument recently but forgave each other. We became more strongly attached than ever... and now that we realised we have feelings for each other, this guy who is talkative and bold, turned rather silent. He stops initiating conversation... he still replies me, but always taking his time to do so, and give short replies. Our mutual friends won't stop teasing.

What is he thinking? Is this normal?


(its long distance)

Only he knows what he is thinking. However, people react differently when the dynamic of a relationship changes. He may be getting his head around it. He may be unsure. Take that step over the official friend line is a big one. Usually, people lose the friendship if it doesn't work out.

So, just ask him if he is feeling overwhelmed, regretful, weirded out, etc.

See what he says. Be the brave one and give him and out by starting the conversation yourself.
