There's this guy I know who's always had my interest. He's cute, he's sweet, he's funny, we get along so well, talking is easy and natural... its a good friendship. Recently, he learned of my interest in him. The subject was brought up and we decided that we would just stay friends-- I brought that up, defense mechanism. So, I started looking at other guys. I started hanging out with them more, talking to them more, I even developed new interests. Of course, none of them compare with this guy, but I boxed my feelings up for him and set them aside on a shelf. I can't wait around forever for him.
A few months have passed since I originally made the conscience effort to move on. And I don't know whats going on now. I will admit, I am still very much attracted to him, but something is different with him. He almost always answers the phone when I call him, and I learned that he hardly ever actually picks his phone up when it rings. He waits for me when we do group things, he always finds his way to be by my side, he's talking to me more than usual, giving me focused attention, even in a big group of people. I haven't noticed this, but my best friend has-- he's staring at me, a lot! He's trying to get me involved more in his life and what he does... The thing is, he's really really shy. I'm not sure if I'm reading into this too much or what, but has he had a change of heart?
Now, this is how I'm different. In the past month, I've lost about 10 pounds.

Personally, I can't really tell the difference. But a few other people have pointed it out to me. I'm not fat, I never was. I have always been in the normal weight range for my height, and since I'm athletic, most of my weight is muscle mass. I think the world of this guy, he is amazing to me, and I'd hate to think that if he is interested in me now, that its because I lost weight. What's everyones take on this?
