Does this mean he....?
Does this mean he doesn't want to say he likes me, or he doesn't want me to like him?
Long story short I've known him for 4 years. We live 4 hours apart but see each other on camping trips regularly, 2 or 3 times a year. 3 years ago, I was major crushing on him, but when he told me he didn't like me I shut up about it.
Fast forward to 1 year ago, I get a boyfriend, he doesn't know till we go camping last fall. My boyfriend doesn't come but he's kinda grumpy and distant. Then after that we stopped talking because I got a new phone that wasn't iMessage friendly.
I just got in touch with him again 2 weeks ago. Since then he's been WAY friendlier, enthusiastic, saying goodnight and good morning, etc. He said had I not contacted him he'd have gotten my number from my dad at the end of the summer.
OK NOW- a few days ago he asked for a tbh. I said I'm not sure what I'd say, it would be long and he replied with "Ouch".
Then yesterday when I had thought about it I said- "really I can't just make a tbh about you into one tiny paragraph, i mean 4 years is a long time to know someone and a lot has happened since then. I've never been good with words especially when things are so complex. There's just too much to put like how do I even know where to start? Again, 4 years, pretty long time. That's why i said i'm not sure..."
He replied with (summarized)- "I'm glad you didn't give me a tbh" so I asked why, and he said "Because I like the way things are now and don't want to add the stress of it"
