Friend troubles?

Question

so, i have 1 freind who got freaked out bc he thought i asked him on a date, adn now is rly confusing me saying that its always awkward around me or he doesnt want to b friends
he and i kind of argue like sibilngs, at least in front of pple, but we're always friends at teh end of the day. sometimes i kind of try to make him feel awkward, but i wanted to make peace and not try to annoy him anymore, hopefully viseversa, and i didnt think it would be this upsetting to me, but hes pushing me away and i dont know what to do. i asked him to get in contact with me tomorrow, but i have no idea waht to do to restablish our friendship so we dont annoy each otehr to death and he doesnt feel too awkward around me

Answer 1

tell him that you're not intested in going on a date with him. look him in the eyes and tell him he's your friend: nothing more, nothing less. if you look him straight in the eye and can say this without blushing or blinking,... he'll believe you. maybe he's got a crush on you though, that could be why he thinks you're asking him out. maybe he's scared of losing you as a friend if you guys get into a relationship,... just tell him as open as you can that you want to keep him as a friend, that it hurts that he's pushing you away because you don't want to loose your friend!
how to stop making him feel awkward around you? maybe this will be enough, and if not, talk to him about it. ask him what exactly is the problem and if it's something you can and are willing to change in your attidtude or behaviour,... do it. if not, talk about it and tell him he's being unreasonable... tell him to try to change his behaviour towards you if this is the case... and try not to worry to much and just stay yourself!
good luck

Answer 2

Have you tried telling him to forget the other day and get back to being friends again. That you are really unhappy not to have your old relationship and you want to start fresh. That is about as direct as you can be. It's up to you ,if you want to apologize for anything, that would be a good time to do it.
