Did I misread the signals? Was he really interested? What do you think?

A female United Kingdom, *ush123 writes:

I have liked a guy I work with for a while. But I also liked his friend and they both knew this (but they did not know I liked the first guy too!).

Anyway, after a couple weeks, I decided that the second guy was not right for me. But I still liked the first guy. Before the first guy found out I liked his friend, I got along with him really well. Then, when he found out I liked his friend, he seemed to be avoiding me. Wouldn't even look at me or smile, like he had done before. He looked really down and miserable.

Anyway, a couple more weeks passed and he spoke to me - we were joking around about some stuff. He was okay.

I have the first guy's number because he gave it to me a couple months ago. But he texted me a couple days ago to tell me his new number. The first text did not tell me who it was, so I texted back to say this and he told me it was him.

Why would he act in the ways I have described above and why did he give me his new number when we dont really see each other that often?

Would I be going over the top in thinking that I may have misread the signals right from the beginning and he was actually interested in me... and could still be interested and that is why he wanted me to have his new number?

(the second guy is out of the question - I am not interested in him anymore).

Toria agony auntHe could have given you his new number hoping you would use it or just because he see's you as a friend and wanted you to have it, I would text him something simple like 'hi how are you?' and get a text conversation going with him and see where it goes from there, maybe asking if he wants to meet up sometime and catch up after a few texts have passed back and forth.

Stop guessing, and start asking.

Yeah I know it's tough, but for those ppl who don't have a natural talent in reading people's expressions and actions/reactions, the next best and 'more risky' thing to do is simply directly confront or indirectly find out through asking him out, and see where that goes.
