    Option 1. He is trying the age old "Abscense make the heart grow fonder". He is hoping that you would you miss him terribly and realize you have feeling for him. Its quite a good technique to get out of the friendzone with a girl. I would only ever do it though, if I could not move on because I liked her too much.

    Option 2

    He wants to get over you, so he is distancing himself from you. So that once he has moved on, you can be friends again.

    Option 3 - He is a dick

    I think you need to talk to him about this. A good friendship is based on honesty and respect. Tell him this has been on your mind. I personally think he is hurt because he had feelings for you, and you didn't return them. Not saying that is your fault - it was better than lying to him and playing with his heart. You need to talk to him.

    properly once you're completely gentle with it, why no longer? in case you have a boyfriend i ought to establish rationalization why you ought to not enable him. yet while he's your buddy and you're gentle with him doing it then i do no longer see a concern with it. yet reality is men do take issues in yet in a distinctive way. or possibly I could say why the "actual" reason could be he's doing it. usually while male pals do issues like this he needs to become greater beneficial than pals. usually in any case.
