Once my aspie texted me "good night". I didn't get that text until I woke up the next morning, so I replied "good morning". He snapped at me, accusing me of being inappropriate for saying good morning to him because apparently that was too intimate. Huh? So you can't say someone has romantic feelings over good night/good morning. I don't have a clue what that means to my aspie, because clearly there is some double standard there but I assure you, he does not have romantic feelings for me.
Your guy friend is a nutjob. Sorry.
I was talking about the *everyday* good morning/nights, not the once in a while thing. It's about the frequency.
To me it sounds like Anngables friend was infatuated with her and didn't know how to express his true feelings. He may have been afraid to tell her because he was incapable of reading her and was afraid of losing her like so many before her. After 2 years of chasing her he finally figured she wouldn't like him in the way he wanted her so begrudgingly reverted to a friendship. Maybe his wounds will heal, maybe not.
