Recently he started talking to me again out of the blue and we became good friends again. He was popping up on me online every day almost and talking to me almost exclusivley in public. I started to wonder why he suddenly started being friendly again and if he maybe liked me. (I still liked him). So then his brother ( we will call him Fred) was hanging out with a friend and Fred told his friend he had a crush on me but it wouldn't work out because I liked his brother. His friend asked him how he knew and Fred said he came across his brother laughing at something on the computer and he asked what was so funny. His brother told him that he was laughing at me ( we were iming) because it was "so obvious that I liked him and it was adorable and so he kept talking to me to lead me on." I would like to clarify I am not sure how he arrived at that conclusion be cause HE was the one who started talking to me out of the blue. I never said a word to him and I never started any of those conversations except for once or twice when I needed to.
Anyways so Freds friend was rly upset and told his sister Gabbie who is my best friend. She in turn broke it to me. I of course was really upset because I felt humilated but what I couldn't figure out was why he had kept this up this long. We had been talking now straight since Dec and it was all him! My first instinct was to tell him exactly what I thought of him. But I can't say anything because Fred and his friend, not to mention Gabbie would all get busted for it. After I found out he told me on IM how he got accepted into a law school and I was pretty stiff and cold about it. He kinda deflated and I ended the conversation quickly. Later that week I got thrown with him in a group gathering and I tried to ignore him but he kept trying to get my attention and I kept crushing him with rude remarks or ignoring him. Nothing would deter him though he kept trying to talk to me and getting my attention. By the end of the night I was pretty friendly to him but watching myself. And we parted on good terms. But this week when I have been online he hasn't talked to me at all whereas he used to talk to me everyday. I am not sure what I think of his behavior. Was he just saying that to his brother to make him think he doesnt like me? Or was he actually being a jerk. I really do like him aside from this episode and would like to keep him as a friend even though i might have to avoid contact for awhile. I haven't been talking to or pursuing him but let him be. Do you have any thoughts because I am very confused. Thanks :)
