Yes you get a runny nose. Yes, it's quite likely your nose will get red - from blowing/wiping it. Yes, you'd rub your nose a lot, it's running.

As for the hyper vs. relaxed thing, if can depend on the user. It can and does have both effects.

From what I've noticed of cocaine addicts, there's a lot of sniffing and touching your nose. Also, hyper, jittery ups, and dragging, almost furtive downs.

Does he go to the toilet alot if you are out drinking, and come back sniffing? Does he go with a friend? The only time I have ever known guys to consistently go to the toilet together is because they are sharing their drugs.

Most coke users will sniff rather than blow their noses, because if you blow if all the powder comes back out again.

Have you asked him about it?

You will also notice they can't seem to stand or sit still, don't seem to really be listening to you when you answer their questions but rather just waiting for their next turn to talk talk talk. They will roll their lips between their teeth, like pursing their lips together and biting both of them at the same time when they sniff. They are breathy when they talk and their breath smells aspirin-ie.

These symptoms are all true. But don't forget this one as well...

some of the most sincere, believable, "LIARS", I ever knew, were well educated, professional, functional addicts.

Some people can't keep up the farce very long. Others keep it at arms length for many years.

The rate of decline varies with the victim. And yes, I view the addict as a victim. They need help. They just don't know it.
