Yes i still miss my ex-gf a little bit even though I know I shouldn't, but I met this boy at my college who i think i like we got super close within I think the 2nd week of college and we always glance at eachother during class, 2 days ago he said he likes me but said he needs more time to process his recent breakup which fair enough i still need time to process mine as well, yesterday we then sat next to eachother and he put his hand out flat next to me and we do bicker a lot (not seriously) so i SLAPPED his hand. Fast forward to this morning during Maths one of his friends told me he saw us "holding hands" and said that him and another friend were talking about it last night and now I feel so embarrassed for no reason at all and it makes me not want to talk to him again he doesn't know about it but it still makes me feel uneasy because of his friends. He told me before that he doesnt particularly LIKE his friends he just "tolerates them" so maybe he wouldnt care what they think but it just annoys me that i now know that's what people think of us like. Even if me and him never date I love him as a best friend i just wish people would stop shipping us together just because we have a very close bond

people will ship two people over literally anything when they see a close bond. i’d keep talking to him the same way you always have, because his friends’ assumptions don’t get to decide what your friendship means.
do you actually feel uncomfortable with him, or is it mostly knowing that other people are watching and talking about the two of you?
im not uncomfortable with him whatsoever im uncomfortable by the fact his friends are kind of being a bit horrible and are saying we are dating when we aren't. Yes we both like eachother and we possibly will be together if that day comes it just annoys me that when we are close they just have to ship us together bc we're the opposite sex to eachother
i’d feel embarrassed too, especially when something that felt private suddenly becomes a thing other people are talking about. i’ve had friends tease me about someone i was close with and it made me overthink every little interaction with them
