<human>: Can you condense the text into three sentences or less?

We were drinking this weekend in his house and he hinted at me staying with him after our friends left because I jokingly asked him to spoon me to soften the hangover. He said 'gladly'. He didn't actually say it he messaged me while being in the same room as me while we were with our friends. I said I had to go home and he said it was probably for the best but told me to contact him later for some company. 

So I did and he said it was probably a good thing that I didn't stay as there would be 'war'. I asked why and he told me it was because of my ex , who is also his friend. Just to add ,my ex broke up with me at the start of the year, he treated me like shit and is generally not a good person. We had an extremely serious break up. I'm no longer in his company as he now lives in a different country.

After our break up, I always felt really awkward around my friend in question as I got the impression he didn't like me. If I had seen him out he would barely talk to me, but then there was times when he would come say hello and give me a hug. He has since told me it was because he didn't want to get involved in the break up as he is a mutual friend.

I'm confused, I don't know if he has feelings for me or if he was just drunk. Because of the obvious awkwardness, I've felt really nervous around him despite knowing him years, tbh we rarely talk and only see each other every few weekends so I was taken aback by this sudden interest in me. I have never looked at him in that way before but now I haven't been able to stop thinking about him to the point where I'm getting butterflies, and I haven't felt like that about someone in a long time despite going out with different men after my break up.

I'm just a bit confused where his mind is as it's a bit hard to read. Am I completely overreacting?
