I've been friends with this guy for 3 years. He knows a lot about me, but he has never really opened up much about himself. He has always been a good friend and given me a lot of good advice on my problems. Anyway, we used to talk all the time but in the last 6 months he became less available and took longer to return my calls. Then he stopped returning them all together. I called him about 8 times and he never answered or called back. Then he emailed me saying he was very busy and wants to take a break from our friendship. I'm very confused because we have been friends for so long and he knows everything about me... What did I do? Anyone have a similar experience?

You have to let him have his space. I had a guy friend for almost 15 yrs and then he made the decision to sever the relationship. It was very painful. I wrote to him one last time to please communicate w/me and let me know if I hurt his feelings, etc. He never responded. I have a clear conscience that I attempted to repair whatever was wrong. You can't force yourself on anyone. Also, my friend later "came out" of the closet & I think that he might have felt I'd judge him. I feel sad that he did not trust me enough to share that---but that was his choice. Some come in to our lives for a little bit of time & we learn something from them and they move on. I will always have fond memories of my friendship w/him & am greatful for his presence in my life at one time.

Well that is definitely a weird situation. I had a guy friend do that to me once. It turned out he had a crush on me and just didn’t feel comfortable just being my friend anymore while I had a boyfriend. Perhaps there may have been a misunderstanding between the two of you or he may be going through a rough patch, if that’s the case you need to be there for him even if he is trying to stay away from you. After all you still want his friendship.

People change; it's a fact of life.
He may have a girlfriend that he hasn't told you about. Maybe he's changed, maybe you have.
Just call they guy and tell him how you feel. The worst that can happen is that he doesn't respond...which is what is happening already.
Then again, he may not realize what he is doing....

perchance the guy is in love with you and not your ultimate buddy, and while that occurs, there is not any longer something interior the international you're able to do reason its no longer relatively your fault so she should not be mad at you. yet even though perchance she'll recover from that's going to certainly...

he saw how you were just "Friends"? He fell in Love with someone? Who may not be able to understand your relationship with him. So he wants to let this New Girl, see who he really is. Sorry, Dear. I hope you find some happiness.

More than likely he 's got a girl now and she doesn't want him to have any girl friends. This happens a lot.

i believe he may be in another relationship and needs to focus on it, best to stop calling him, if he wanted to call u he would. he is in another relationship and doesn't want to jeopardize it.
