Have you tried getting a mutual friend that is always with him, and is firends with you to be involved, meaning like did u try having someone who he hangs out with hang out with you so all three of you can be friends in public.
BUt honestly, from the way you describe this, I dont think he's the best type of friend, have you tried depending on a more religous type of friend, one who cna provide the moral support you need through the Spirit of Love?

Hi everyone,
he wants to be friends. i don't want to lose this oppurtnity, it was very hard for me to gain it. .
you seem very depended on him, which is not a good thing, because if he is a bad person (not saying he is) but if he is he can use this against you.
Good Luck
Sometimes awkwardness can get between friends.. so perhaps going up and asking him about what you missed in class or something? Just try to start a conversation.. ?
Another thing, you do seem like your leaning on this friend too much and are forgetting your best friend.. the friend who loves you such much that He gave His life for you.. He is all the support you need! Lean on Him, you can depend on people.
yea, people can be different on th eweb, for example, i am an extremely shy person, but online, i am not. So, maybe you should try to stop talking to him online, and maybe do something with him...you know just hang out...?..idk...that's just what i would do...? :/
online i had my friend that would talk to me but at church or at the mall its like she would completely ignore me and act like were not friends..wat i did and hopefully it can help u is that i talked to her online saying that we should hang out together and talk about everything and how i felt that i was being ignored and that this really wasnt a good friendship we were having..so now everything worked out and we talked over it and now we talk at church and online.so maybe u should talk to ur friend and tell him/her how u feel and just hang out with ur friend and discuss about wats going on in your friendship...also talk to another friend about it like get advice from someone close to u or talk to ur father of confessions about it..that always helps.
God Bless

sry i didnt realise this thread existed....anyways u mentioned b4 that its become worse...in what way?? has he mentioned anything to you?? also is that he ignores u or that he doesnt speak to u as much as he does online....i think time and space is the key....and take the initiave to talk to him....it might be awkward for a guy to be comforting another guy in public....i dunno....jus assuming....
God bless n take care
