Do Aquas avoid someone they care about if they feel that they have disappointed them?
My Aqua friend forgot my birthday a little under a week ago and since then I haven't spoken to him which is bizarre for me as I speak to him at least once a day. I msgd him friday night saying I'm disappointed in him he replied saying he knows why, and that I shouldn't worry because he's got me, said he's going to call me later that evening but still haven't heard a word from him.

Iv got a male Aqua best friend who has started acting stranger than normal. I am used to him disappearing when hes going through problems but he always resurfaces and things are back to normal but since my birthday in early April hes been off with me. He had forgotten it and wanted to make it up to me, I never made a fuss about forgetting it and so agreed to what ever he was going to do.

He hasnt been making an effort since then and has ignored 2 of my msgs on whatsapp (a social messsging app) so I left him alone.

A week ago he sent me a picture attachment on whatsapp quoting 'im beautiful' i replied back saying 'k'. He hasnt said anything since then. What on earth is going on with this Aqua? Anyone?

A few of my friends think he has feelings for me but Im not buying it, We were literally closer than ever before this happened so im thrown off.

He's very into you.

He's gained an interest in you beyond friendship. He didn't tell you that he was while this was happening. But nonetheless, he was. That's why others can see it.

When he called you beautiful, he meant that. That was his way of giving you a small peak into how he perceives you past a platonic level, b/c he was too afraid to go full force & to let you know about his newfound feelings for you. And when you hit him with the insensitive or aloof "k," that was the ultimate rejection to him.

That's why he's been distant ever since. He's gone back into his shell & is probably kicking himself for even giving in to his urge to somehow openly express his feelings for you. You may not have meant to kick him in his ego, but you did. And he's reacting based on what happened, and not what he thinks you didn't mean to happen.

You don't seem to share a romantic mutual interest in him so of course it's easy for you to shrug it off & not notice the small things that Aquas do when they're beginning to fall in like or in love for someone. If you were emotionally tuned in & connected to him past a platonic level, trust me, you would've noticed the subtle differences.

I'm sure there are other factors contributing to why he's been kind of 'off' lately. What leads me to believe that this sudden disappearing act has more to do with you than it does his other problems though is b/c I'm assuming that if you 2 are really the bestest of friends that anything going on in his outside life would be something he would've shared with you. After all, best friends tell each other everything right?! Best friends typically know so much about each other & what's going on each other's lives that they don't even have to guess so hard why the other person may be acting strange or seeming out of it.

Was the picture of him and he said I'm beautiful?

How Aquas act when they're starting to fall in love or like with someone may seem odd or backwards to others.

Have you ever heard the rumor in grade school that men act like they don't like you when/all b/c they really do like you?! lol

Aquas can be like this. They get insecure. They start mentally planning out in their heads how they're going to tell you how they feel. They start coming up with a bunch of scenarios in their heads about how them telling you might play out. They consider the likelihood of rejection or acceptance from you persay they told you. They start questioning themselves about why they really like you & whether or not they're just being emotionally impulsive in the moment or if how they feel about you is real & is coming from a rational place. He's weighing the options in considering whether or not he can mentally/emotionally handle further rejection from you in the event that his feelings for you increase, only upping his urge to express them to you...i.e. the infamous battle of mind vs. heart begins.

Aquas aren't ones for being emotionally impulsive so when you encounter an Aqua doing so, just know that it probably took all the courage & strength in them to do so. Of course they'll never tell you this lol but nonetheless, just know that this is probably the case with him.

What to do next? Well just give him space, give him time & wait to see what happens. He's gonna have to finish the battle of heart vs. mind 1st before he comes back full force.

But no worries. These kind of situations happen all the time. And they're freakin' awkward!! You never know if the other person secretly shares a mutual interest in you. You never know if even trying to cross over the line into the romantic zone with an otherwise platonic friend will ruin or interrupt the flow of the friendship. You just never know. Lots of "what ifs." And all of the overanalyzing Aquas do during this time is enough to drive anyone crazy, especially themselves!

Given that, there's 2 ways this will play out:
1. His mind will win the battle of heart vs. mind & he'll come back like nothing ever happened, completely erase the idea in his head that either of you will ever be more than friends, & he'll get back to the friendship like he was before
OR 2. His heart will win the battle, maybe giving him 1 more ounce of courage to show subtle hints of interest to you. If he does, it's critical for you to show interest back IF you're open to being more

When you put it like that I understand what your saying but it never would of crossed my mind because I was with his male best-friend with whom I nearly had a baby with and till this day he was still trying to get us together, I mean he encourages it to the point that I have to tell him to drop the subject at times.

The one thing I can say that did weird me out about him is that I catch him staring at me ALOT! Like he would just watch me without saying a word. At first I started questioning it but then I got used to it I just thought it was in his nature.

I miss his friendship tremendously I wouldn't want to make it awkward in any type of way. Do you really think messaging him is a bad idea?

Well the general rule of thumb is to consider someone off limits if they've engaged in sex or a romance with your friend, but hey people break the rules all the time.

Attraction that maybe seems weird or that happens after the weirdest circumstances is possible & does happen.

Some men won't care who you've been with (especially if the guy did you horribly wrong---their sympathy for you overrides the ego that's telling them that you're off limits) if their attraction to you is strong enough. He might wish he would've gotten to you 1st.

You're not just some regular girl or stranger he just met. If he's close to you, he knows you. He knows your heart. He knows your potential. Even if a man has never hit on his female friends, 9 times out of 10, the thought has def. crossed his mind at least once. Some men act on that impulse, some don't. Seems like your Aqua did.

You sound like you've been through a lot. He knows this. So maybe his care for you is coming from a place of sympathy & empathy (hence the reminder to you that you're beautiful as a way of lifting you up) moreso than a romantic place. Some men are like your girl friends. When they see you down or have been with you through so many trials, they naturally wanna do/say things to make you feel better. There's an extra kindness that follows simply b/c they care about you as a person & see past all the other stuff. This is completely normal & expected of female friends moreso than male friends so I can def. understand your confusion. Just know that male friends can possess the same care in the same way women do with each other.

Sometimes when I'm in the presence of someone who's gone through a lot but persevered through it all, I just stare at them in amazement. Admiring their beauty & courage. Admiring the person they are. If the person knew these thoughts were going on inside of my head, they def. wouldn't think I was being creepy lol

Should you contact him? Maybe. Don't bring up anything about him possibly being romantically interested in you though b/c you might be too ahead of yourself. Just flat out ask him if your short "k" response bothered him. And from there, mention that you've noticed his distance & ask him to trust you to tell you why. He might tell you & put all of this guessing & assuming to rest. You'd be surprised.

I hate when people respond with "k". I will be hardpressed to talk to you after that.



Yeah lol I usually use k as an edgy reply when I want to be rude.



I use it when I'm pissed and don't like what you said. A response that is not a response.

I hate it too but he ignored 2 of my messages and didnt respond to my missed calls then randomly sends me that picture after 2 weeks, he's lucky I even acknowledged it.

Krysrenne7 Are you too an Aqua?
Youv put everything into the perfect perspective. Yes Aqua knows certain things about me that others dont, with family issues as of lately that has happened he has been my rock.

As far as me and him I think deep down somewhere if it did ever cross his mind I 1000% doubt he'd take it there. Blood couldn't make him and his male best friend any closer, he wouldn't over step that mark even if he did it'll be out of impulse.

Im going to take everything you said into account though, I will contact him and keep it light and see what he says.
