Hey guys,

 

Long story short, a long time guy friend started heavily pursuing me when I broke up with my ex. He took me out on dates when I was *available (more info below), and after spending a bit of time together, he told me that he really liked me and wanted me to be his girlfriend once things died down with my ex, even told friends and family this. And, one night when things got hot and heavy he stopped me and told me that he didn't want to have sex just yet. He said "I don't think you understand how much I like you".

 

I really liked him, but since my breakup with my ex was so recent I didnt think it was smart to go too fast and jump into anything too soon, and I told him this. We both agreed to take it slower.

 

So here's where I think I might have done something to change how he sees me or what he thinks I want out of him. I'm in college and I'm living at home for the summer, and I still have kind of a strict curfew. This guy works full time and gets out late most nights now, and I'm not allowed out that late. He would ask me if I wanted to catch a movie or go do some late night bowling or something, but when my parents say no, theres not much I can do. So, some nights I'll call him and I'll "sneak" over to his place. We'll end up spending the night together, usually with some light drinking involved, and it mostly ends in a hookup.

 

I've explained to him my situation, and he understands. He'll make sarcastic comments saying things like "maybe someday we won't have to do this (sneaking out all the time)". I've also told him that I liked him, and not just as a hookup. When I told him this, he kept asking questions on how much I liked him but he didn't say that he liked me too or anything like he did a few weeks before, although I didn't ask.

 

I'm wondering if he's not as interested anymore, or if he sees me as a FWB now, or something. I just recently met all his good buddies, and they made it known that he does talk about me (in a good way). I'm not sure what to think. I guess my question is, is it possible he lost some interest or sees me differently or something?

If anything your strict parents did. Your in College and you have a curfew...I don't think that's normal.
