Getting over it

First of all, I'm still in the closet. I was planning on coming out soon, but then again some things happened and now I don't really have the courage anymore.

I'm in my first year at university, and from the first day I went to class I noticed this guy. He was (and still is) totally hot, looks confident and extremely extravagantly compared to other guys in my class. I secretly wanted to get to know him, because he seemed to be extremely fun to be around.

A couple weeks later I met someone who is a friend of me now. One day, we went for lunch together, and on the way to the restaurant he told me that someone else would join us, a groupmember of his (we were divided into groups for writing a paper). You can call it fate, or coincidence, but the one joining us was the hot guy I secretly wanted to meet.

I was very happy of course, and he turned out to be exactly the way I pictured him to be. From then on, he joined us every week for lunch, and we started to be friends. We exchanged cellphone numbers, so I really got the idea that he liked me as a friend.

Some time later we went to see a movie together, and he asked me if he could spent the night at my place, because he didn't have a train home after the movie. I said yes, of course, and that night we slept in a single bed, only wearing boxers. We talked until 5 am, so I really got to know him better. He told me that he had had a girlfriend before, but others (including myself) thought he was gay. I was kinda hoping he was going to come out to me, what would have given me chance to do the same. Unfortunately, he didn't.
I was starting to feel attached to him, and sent him messages on a regular basis (not every day, but two or three messages a week). Then the Christmas holidays started, and I asked him if it was okay that we would get together during holidays. He answered, and I quote: 'Yeah, that's a great plan!'
I was very happy, and counted down the days. But then this message came. He claimed that I wasn't 'his kind of friend', and that I was 'suffocating' him. He didn't want to be my friend anymore because 'he didn't feel like replying immediately tot my messages'.
I was devastated, because I was starting to fall in love with him, and there hadn't been any signs of him not liking me at all.

From then on, we stopped talking to each other. When we bump into each other during class, he ignores me, even though he said not to.
Last week, I heard he kinda came out to his friends, which of course led to me falling in love with him even more than I already was.

At the moment I feel incredibly stupid. I still feel like it's my fault that he doesn't want to be friends with me anymore (even though everyone tells me that's not true). If he had still be my friend, I would probably be out now, and maybe he would have been my bf.
But I need to get over him, because I know things will not work out the way I want them to work out. He'll never talk to me again, and the chances of him and I talking again are pretty much none existent.

I don't know what to do. I guess I just needed to tell the full story. It's a relief to share my story with someone. I was kinda tired telling everyone that I just missed him just 'as a friend'.

Unless there is part of the story that you haven't included here, it sounds like something happened with this guy and he decided to end the friendship. That's his choice and he is entitled to his choice.

A decent person would have told you why but there's no reason to assume he's a decent person.

You're not at the center of this guy's universe. He is the center of his own universe. So, there's no way his decision is your fault.

You need to stop blaming him for you not being out. This is yours to own. Own it.

You're welcome to tell the story. We're happy to listen. Sorry that you lost a friend in all of this. Sorry that both of you were never honest with each other.

You know what to do- you said it yourself here: "...I need to get over him, because I know things will not work out the way I want them to work out. He'll never talk to me again, and the chances of him and I talking again are pretty much none existent. "

If you are a good friend, you will have no problems making other friends. Now get out there and do it.

A couple of things to think about:
  1. Being someone's friend is not the same as wanting them for a boyfriend. It is a great way to end up getting hurt and that is probably what happened here.
  2. You need to think more about that coming out thing...
 
Just some info.I've waited 53 years to say to my family that i was gay(even tho they new it)the crossroads that you should never have to bear are there sometimes.take care and be real with yourself!
 
Did something happen between you two?

If not then I would say he is a total head case and you should try to stay away from him.

I have been there before, Seem like best friends one minute and the next they stop taking your calls and start avoiding you without reason.

It hurts but be stronge and move on, there is someone for everyone. Or atleast I hope so because i'm still looking myself, LoL....

I think something's missing here <-- if I read this I'd go 'duh'!

It's probably something you don't know. But something definitely smells funny, maybe (as volcom said) he started to fall for you too. Don't depend on it, but it's a probability!
 
either he's a nut or something's missing - no need to be shy on an anonymous forum
 
There's nothing that I didn't tell here. It came as a total surprise to me. After I got the message I asked him why, but he didn't replied and, as I said, he started to ignore me when I saw him.

I've been thinking about why he did it, but I don't know.

1. We didn't have any mutual friends, so there wouldn't be anyone who told him something bad about me.
2. It's pretty possible he was falling for me, but as he told me he was straight, I didn't really look out for possible signs.
3. A few weeks after the Christmas holidays he did get into a 'relationship' with a girl, but after a month he dumped her because he didn't want to have sex with her.

Maybe it has something to do with him being extravagant and me being it, but not looking like it. Maybe I didn't 'fit' into his extravagant world.

Anyways, thanks for listening. I'm going to focus on other people now.
 
I say he was probably confused. It seems your relationship stirred some confusion within himself about having feelings for the same sex and felt you had something to do with his confusion and so decided to cut you completely off.

It's not your fault, these things have happened.

I was really close with this one guy in middle school, we would hang out on daily basis at school and IM constantly about stupid junk. I can say I had feelings for him and believed they were secretively returned, but we were young and still clueless. It ended when another friend made a snide comment that we acted like 'some fruit couple'.

After that comment we instantly stopped talking to one another. One, because at the time I was so afraid that I could not come out as being gay and Two, he im'd me stating we couldn't be friends anymore because 'I'm not like that'.

It hurt like hell, having developing feelings for someone who believe would reciprocate. It even hurt more when I found out years later, during High School, he was in fact gay.

In shorter words, it was better you suffered a broken crush rather than a broken heart.
 
Maybe he's just getting a gay vibe about you which made him feel uneasy?
(for whatever reasons)
You mentioned he said you're not his "kind of friend" and "suffocating" him....no offence but I've never heard straight guys talk to each other like this.
Sounds like a bit of a hint but it's hard to say.

Whos's idea was it to share the bed? Or where you both really drunk?
I've had friends crash over at my place after drinking or whatever and we never share a bed. They get the couch. Why? Because if I said something like "don't worry, let's just share my bed" they'd be like wtf that's seriously GAY.

We weren't drunk, and we slept in the same bed simply because I don't have a couch or another thing to sleep on.
And about the message, you're probably right about the hints.
