Last night my best friend and I told each other we had crushes on each other, and then went on to talk about music and movies until he went to sleep. Now every time I sign on AIM or Myspace he gets off, and when I set myself as invisible he comes back a few minutes later, getting off once more when I get back on. Do you think he's avoiding me, and why? We're not going out, we just admited we liked each other.
We've gone out before, and it ended not very nicely, but we became better friends than before it happened.
On a survey on his bulletin board he answered "Yes, I have a crush. It's mutual : D"

yup sounds like he is avoiding you.... Don't know why...Ask him why....good luck to you..

He is avoiding you. He is probably really embarrassed. Might just want to give him a couple of days and call him. Good luck

I don't know. Both are possible.

Good Luck

Its called your gut instinct and in this case you would be right. A guy needs time to plot his next move.

I don't think he's avoiding you to deliberately hurt your felings, he just doesn't want to ruin your good friendship by admitting he likes you in that way, even if you said it as well.

I'd say just give him some space to work his feelings out, everything will go back to normal in no time =]

Unfortunatly it sounds like he is avoiding you, but i don't think he's doing it to hurt your feelings. From what I know from another one of your questions he seems like a very unsure person and he might be feeling like even though he stated his feelings to you the mutual feelings could be freaking him out. From my own personal experience, I have been really wanting to be with someone and then when someone wants to be with me I start to freak out and think that everything is going too fast... I tend to push the person away for a while, but when I know it's right and comfortable I let my guard down.

You really need to talk to him, face-to-face. Using AIM or Myspace can be tricky because you can't see his reactions. When talking to him face-to-face you can see if he's actually scared or uncomfortable. And since you two are bestfriends you should be able to talk comfortably. I know that this could be messing you up and understandably so; he's not acting how you expected him to. But you need to remember that all good things take time and patience. If he is reacting the way that I have, you need to talk and give him time to be fully comfortable with the idea of you two together.

P.S. He also might be scared that he could ruin the friendship you two share. It's a legitamite fear but you two need to make sure that you'll be ok if it doesn't work out.

Best of Luck!
