Am I misreading signs or something?
So, I worked with someone last Summer and we became close friends. I thought he was cute but also knew he had a girlfriend and I respect that, so I didn't pursue anything. We hung out almost every day, we talked about everything, including his girlfriend (which I was fine with), and we ended up knowing almost everything about each other. By the end of the Summer he was more like my little brother/best friend that I cared about but was no longer interested in dating, then something weird happened... About halfway through the Summer a customer started being sexually suggestive and pretty vulgar in his speech towards me and when I told my friend he got all "Me big man, me beat bad man up", please understand that my friend has never been in any physical altercations, let alone wanted to instigate one. I was kind of shocked but flattered and it felt good to know that he had my back. Then, he hung out with me when I was on shift and he was off shift making sure the customer that was bothering me didn't have the chance, and even blew off his girlfriend to hang out and make sure all was okay. I thought it was sweet and kind of out of character for him but really, I didn't think too much of it until the last day of work when he started mumbling about sex and that he thinks he's too thin and how that worries him as he put it "With the ladies", then he lifted his shirt up walked towards me and said "See? Don't you think I'm too thin?". I said "Well, no, not really, I mean you're thin but not emaciated or anything.". As this whole thing played out I was sitting there going "What the hell's going on today?" as I'd had a series of rather odd things happen that particular day. That night he came over and we watched movies, he was acting weird, playing with his hair, I kept catching him looking at me when he didn't think I was watching, then we were on my computer and I was going to burn some cd's for his drive to go see his girlfriend (4 hour drive) and he called me by his girlfriend's name, stammered and said "I should get to bed". I didn't really know what to do, said "Oh, okay... Let me clear out.", I went to go to bed and he said "Wait, let's watch another movie.", I said "I thought you had to be to bed like, 5 hours ago to get on the road so you're not late meeting your girlfriend?", all he said was "It's cool." and put a new dvd in to watch. Since that night I wasn't sure what was going on, he kind of disappeared then would show up, then write on facebook, then call at random, and most recently I got a call from him saying he wanted to come back down and spend time together this Summer. I'm thrilled 'cause I think he's a really good guy/friend but I'm confused about where his head is/was? Any advice? Thanks.
