But when we are alone and I start to talk about something, he usually becomes sarcastic or is critical of what I say. I don't know what to think of this....is he doing it out of care and love for me....or is he doing this to let me know that he doesn't want to be around me...


... In the past 2 years that I've know him, he's put me through a few of these phases and he would always come back to his old warm and caring self.

But I've been totally confused by his behavior. I've known him for a couple of years now and we started out as friends but have now become really close friends (almost like best friends) and we often share our more personal thoughts with each other. I know he has feelings for me (although he may not show it in public) and I certainly have feelings for him too butwe have really said anything to each other about that. I guess we just both know that we have a special place in each other's hearts.
What I don't understand and am confused about is that when we started out as regular friends, he would be very nice and pleasant everytime we talked...and usually would just agree with me or give me his advice or stay neutral. And that is exactly how he treats his regular friends now (guy or girls). But now that we are closer and in some ways more intimate although still platonic friends, he becomes critical and is sometimes sarcastic about stuff I talk about. It seems like he used to be "nicer" or at least, does not criticize me as much. And it's weird that the closer we get or the longer and more we know each other, he is just very critical towards me (and sometimes so much so that i feel hurt by it). I know he cares about me and doesn't try to hurt me intentionally. I've heard that virgos only criticize the ones they care about. Is this true? I really don't know what to feel....sometimes I almost feel like I rather be his regular friend because he doesn't criticize them at all and is usually agreeable and pleasant with them. But when we are alone and I start to talk about something, he usually becomes sarcastic or is critical of what I say. I don't know what to think of this....is he doing it out of care and love for me....or is he doing this to let me know that he doesn't want to be around me...I mean, that is how he makes me feel sometimes. The ironic thing is that amongst all this criticizing, I still feel like he likes having me around and still likes my company. I mean, as if seeing each other at work everyday is not enough already....he frequently signs on to IM to chat with me into the late night. He would still do little things for me that shows he cares. Ugh..I just don't understand. Please help
