Hi evolved, Gosh, you are almost writing my story. You could be best friends and still be in love with that person. I had started out as friends too..I think you definitely had an emotional connection. I am sorry to hear it didn't work out. Sometimes guys just phase out, guess they dont know how to be friends - once the relationship thing kicks in and maybe he doesn't want to go there. You said he is an introvert, and sort of unsocial. That would explain it, he probably retreated back into his shell. Sometimes they dont want you to keep thinking there is more than a friendship, get scared and back off. Who knows - what goes into guys heads? But you may not see it now, maybe it is as well, since this will let you move on. I tried to remain friends - but it was very hard to do so immediately. It takes longer to break off.
I have had this old college sweetheart..we parted friends but for 10 years we were not in touch. But now we talk to each other again and we are friends. And I dont have any feeling other than friendship with him.

Good luck to you! Hope you feel better.
Most couple's want to be each other's best friends while in a relationship.
