I have a crush on my friend, and I was chatting with him online. What could

[TheConfuzzledOne]

this mean? For starters, I have recently re-established a friendship with an old friend. He and I ended up having minimal contact for about a year and a half due to me telling him that I had a crush on him. During the year that we were close friends, we were in junior high, and many people thought we liked each other. These classmates often bothered us about our friendship, and picked on him for other things, too. To this very day, I have numerous friends who feel that he liked me back, but either didn't want a relationship at the time, or did not want to admit how he felt.

However, after I stopped hating him for the year and change that we did not communicate, I began to develop a moderate crush on him, and as of late, I have had a habit of chatting with him on Facebook.

Today, I was talking about how I thought that some random other guy likes me, and after telling him who it was, he seemed pretty indifferent. But after I mentioned something about how I crush on people for longer than most high school relationships last for (we're both in the middle of high school), he said something that sounded evasive to me. He then told me that the topic was "pointless" and not productive, and shortly afterwards, logged off do to some homework.

Am I really detecting something here, or am I overanalyzing this?
Also, just for pointers, I plan to give him some space after today's conversation. I will not chat with him for a while after this incident.

Good job! Don't chat with him after this conversation, give him his space. I think this boy is confused. I think he is still in the stage of not liking girls. He clearly thinks his school work is important to him. So all i have to say is just leave him alone. Like other guys. There are plenty of other guys out there. He kind of seems lost and doesn't know what his feelings are exactly for you. So yeah. I don't know if this helped, but good luck! - Check out my new question, thanks!

He's not into you. He's avoided every attempt you make at bringing up romantic possibilities. Guys who are interested will make it known in some obvious way, not shy away from you like this guy continues to do.

There are plenty of hot guys out there for your dating pleasure. And yes, you're overanalyzing this. Sorry.
