I became aquainted with this older guy at work. Nice guy funny easygoing and we had a few things in common. We would meet for a beer sometimes and would hang out at lunch. There was nothing strange about it. But a few malicious, trashy people started speading rumors that I was gay.
NOT True! But since that started he began to avoid me, get very sarcastic and insulting towards me at work infront of other coworkers. I reported it once then he physically threatened me.
At that point I needed to protect myself because I still needed to work there, so I reported it again. He was terminated the next day.
Although I avoided him he still was encouraged by others. This may not be the same with your friend, he just may feel strange personally. But whatever the case Don't push the issue, it could get ugly. Also, be polite when you see him but I would ingage in lengthy conversation. When/if he feels comfortable again he will come to you.

handling and understanding when it ends by: Anonymous
He thinks he's falling into a gay relationship, all the daily doings are too many for two people to do together unless a couple. Back off, let it go, you can't push yourself on him when he has obviously ended it.
