So on a random tangent.... My best friend who is practically my brother (we were 16 in the picture; we have the exact same birthday, born less than a couple hours apart). He is finally back from boot camp and is officially a marine. He left in September so I've been freaking out since then until yesterday when I saw him for the first time after the longest time we've ever been separated in our lifelong friendship.
But I think I'm freaking out more now. He's so different. My charismatic, sarcastically hilarious, talkative, and compassionate friend is gone. He barely speaks, even to me. Which is really weird. I think it's weird because I know it's only gonna get worse. He's infantry and is headed for Iraq on the front line as a marine in about 3 months. But he'll be gone from Richmond in less than 3 weeks.
I'm not used to having a stone as a best friend....

this is sad and i'm sorry. i had the same thing happen. this really sounds stereotypical but you need to spend time with him. as much as you can. i have had two people I wished I would have done the same with.
This also happened to me with a man I dated for seven years. We ended up breaking up because he was not emotionally available at all. Jay is right. On a happier note, when he comes home from Iraq, there's the potential that he could be less of a stone. My brother just got back from Iraq (Army) and now he hates the Army, our gov't, etc. and is a total rebel.
its horrible when that happens. maybe he has feelings for you? try to talk to him about it. i know its not that easy but youve got nothing to lose. good luck!
