Guy friend has changed? For no reason.?

I have this guy friend who I known a couple of years. We use to laugh, text and call each other not all the time but at least a few times a week.

We would hang out and have a great time. He would even stop by my job to say hello and chat.

Well now he has changed. We have always gotten along, we never had any fights or disagreements, I don't get in his personal business ( I feel its not my place) only if he offers to share information. I keep my boundaries as friends.

Well the calls and text have gone to literally like twice a month. When I text just to check how is he doing or say Hello ( I get one word responses like : Good or Well).

I saw him a couple of times near my job (office building where I work-has different businesses). I went to say hello and he acts different, like weird toward me now. When we talk in person he looks at me briefly and turns away (while still talking). Lack of eye contact now.

Where before he use to give me eye contact when we talked in person throughout the whole conversation.

We where never in a relationship, only friends, we never had any disagreement. I treat him respectfully as I would any friend and continue to be myself.

He has changed alot it bothers me to where I just want to not even be friends anymore because of the odd behavior. I never did a thing to him.

Why would a guy act or behave toward a female friend this way? Mature answers only.

    Hard telling, could be a current gf of his? or perhaps he secretly had a crush on you and after a long time of trying to be your friend it just got too hard and he gave up, kind of broke down ya know. Or perhaps he did something you don't know of that he's ashamed of, or it could be as simple as life got busy and you grew distance. When things are hectic in your world your brain just goes blank and you don't neccesarily know what to say....me and one of my best friends have grown a little distant lately and it's been a slightly awkward process getting close again. but it shouldnt be that hard considering you do have history to reflect back on. Best of luck though, like I said it could be a multitude of things.

    I would not take it personally. It sounds like he is struggling with something and his life is changing. You can talk to him about it and just let him know that you have noticed that he appears to be distracted and more distant and if there is anything you can do for him, to let you know. If you feel you have done something you can ask him if you have done anything to upset him, but I don't think you have. I think he may be interested in someone or he may have a family problem or maybe he has done something he is ashamed of and doesn't want to tell you. You can tell him you don't want to pry but that you just want to know that you are okay as friends as he has changed his behavior towards you. I feel it is always best to be honest, even if the conversation may not be comfortable.

    I have 2 reasons:

    1. He might be more then friends with you but you keep it as friends all the time so he knows you won't like to be more then friends with him.

    2.He might have a girlfriend, so now he has to think about how to make her happy, and visit her at work.

    The best thing to do is:

    When you see eachother, say that you can see something is wrong, that he change, and why? Say that's its ok if he tells you, and if he doesn't won't to be friend with you, it's ok as well that you know you two spend your life together, so he needs a rest from you. (Now if he says about not being friends, you should give him a hug and go back to work) a friends hug.

    However if he says he wants to be with you say ' listen, I don't want to upset you, but I just want to be friends, like we always were'

    Good luck I hope you get your friend back!

    It sounds like he is going through a rough time. As a friend, just ask him if he's fine and if there is anything he'd like to talk about. If he claims to be fine then ask him nicely, if there was anything you did to upset him. Asking him that can give you a starting point to let him know that his behavior towards you has changed. Good luck with your friend.

    Probably some friend said something about you or he likes some girl and doesn't want her talking to you. Are you sure he is not gay? Write him a letter and ask him what had you done to him. After all you have the right to know.

    He may have had a thing for you, but you put him in the friendzone. Not a surprise, really.

    I think you should straight out ask him why he is acting this way.
