I've known this person for a couple, years, now, 'cause, we're in
some support-groups, together. Anyhow, this guy is a running
*fanatic*!!! I mean, he runs, *miles*, daily!!!...Lol
Anyhow, when we first, became friends, he would tease me and pick
on me, about, every, little thing!!..Lol It was like, he was my
older "brother" and I was the kid sister, because, he *acted* like, an
older "brother", towards, me. At one point, I did send him an e-mail,
telling him how I felt! He never responded! So, I don't know,
whether, he was uncomfortable with what I said, or, what???
I never asked, because, I didn't want to make him more,
uncomfortable! Anyhow, lately, he's *really* changed,
towards, me!! I mean, I'm *lucky*, *if*, I get a "hello", from
him?!? Again, for his benefit, I haven't asked. I'm wondering,
whether, he thinks, I think of him as more than, a friend, which,
now, makes him uncomfortable?!?!? Knowing, he's a major
fan of running, the other day, I came across a really nice book,
about,running! So, naturally, I thought of him, so, I couldn't
help, picking it up for him!! Now, I'm going to be seeing him
on Wed. for our group. My question is, do I give him the book,
even, after the change, in, how he treats me?!?!? I mean,
it's about his *biggest* passion, *ever*!!! However, I *don't* want to make him
more, uncomfortable, if, it's happening, already?!? I mean, *he*
makes *me* come to care about *him*, now, *he's* pulling
away! What do I do????
