Long story short, I met a guy at burning man in August who was a friend of my friend. We clicked instantly but I never saw anything beyond friendship, mostly because I had just stopped seeing someone AND because this guy (Sam) is a bit too old for me, relationship-wise.
A few months passed, we saw eachother in group settings a few times after the festival. Randomly, we ended up kissing at a house party, he then told me he had always liked me and "knew" that this would happen eventually (us). I felt conflicted inside, because I did have a strong attraction to him and we really do get on like a house on fire. I guess I was wondering where it could go? So I agreed to meet up with him on a couple dates, we slept together.
After these two dates, the romantic feeling has kinda faded for me. I think it's because he has a terrible self image and is always putting himself down, which is quite unattractive and tiring. I still really enjoy his company, but I just want to be friends. We were drunk and I told him we should just be friends, he basically ignored the entire sentence and I was left confused.
A few days later, he asked when he'd 'get to see me again' and my weekend plans, I suggested we have coffee on Sat AM. Well I guess he immediately picked up on 'the vibe' or that I was going to fully end it, because he then started being really rude and messing me around about the time we'd meet. I spent the next 3 days getting answers like 'i'm busy' 'not sure what time. lets maybe raincheck?' (2 hours before we were supposed to meet), he even went PAST my house and couldn't be bothered to meet me, but said I could go to his house if I wanted to meet up (1 hour away at 6pm on a sunday). Basically, he was trying to dodge the conversation. He's now just popped up like nothings happened and trying to flirt with me, 3 days later? I didn't really want to tell him how I feel over text, because he is a valued friend (that I want to keep), but he's making it really hard.
TLDR - Male friend who I briefly dated is avoiding a difficult conversation with me and trying to act like nothing's happened
