I have grown a very close friendship with a guy for almost 6 years now. We have so much in common… we had similar childhoods, values, interests and world views. We have so much fun together and there is a genuine love between us. The last year or so, it seemed like he was trying to vaguely feel me out about my feelings for him. On those occasions, I was so taken off guard, I never knew how to respond in the moment. I also felt like he was giving some mixed signals sometimes too, so I never really expressed my feelings for him because I didn’t want to jeopardize our friendship in case I was misinterpreting his feelings. He recently moved a couple blocks away from me, so we’ve been seeing each other more. However a couple months ago he told me he’s started seeing someone. I feel really sad that he’s with someone and I don’t know what to do. He seems happy and I am respecting this new relationship/ his decision. I guess I’m just disappointed and surprised. Should I have done things differently?
