I've mentioned by best friend and drinking buddy, Kevin the chef, on here before.
This has been bothering me since I went and hung out with him Monday night.
We did our usual stuff, drinking, dancing, BSing etc.
This last time though I got a really weird vibe from him.
He's always been a little over appreciative of anything I do for him.
I tell him over and over again not to let it go to his head, I treat all of my friends well and with respect, he's not unique.
I think he's developed deeper feelings for me and he is the last person I need a relationship with.
He's flakey and inconsistent, selfish, and hyper, he always makes plans with me and then blows them off without a thought or word to me.
He's recently out of a long term relationship that ended badly and left him a completely broken man emotionally.
I talked to a mutual friend of ours and she agrees that if this is the case, it needs to be nipped in the bud quickly.
She also pointed out though that it could just be that he's feeling vulnerable because of the holidays, he has no family at all, so yeah, I can understand that.
She also said that it could be that he'd simply had far more to drink on Monday than I realized.
Or any combination of the two.
She tells me to wait till after the holidays and see if he's still acting this way.
Trouble is, if he has developed feelings for me, I have no idea how to approach him on it without losing my friend in the process
