Do your friends ever "threaten" to fight/wrestle you without backing it up?
I have one friend who is married with a child. We met through work but only worked together for six months. He's also a wrestling fan, and I've notice that he likes to text me threats like, "I'm going to punch you in the face this weekend," or "Are you ready to submit to me?"
Most of these "threats"replace the usual greetings where other people would say, "Hey, what are you doing this weekend?"
Sometimes when we hang out, he tends to reach out and pinch my nips. He plays it off as teasing. I've tried to initiate a wrestling match, but we're never in a good place for one, i.e. a restaurant or bar or the movies. He never comes to my place without his family.
I wondered if anyone else had these type of friendships and what do you think of friends like this?
I'd be more than happy to wrestle this guy, but he always keeps it as a "conversation piece." I think he secretly wants to wrestle but hesitates due to social perceptions, especially those of his wife.
I'm interested in any input.

Sadly, the friendship has remained a tease. Others have labeled it a bromance. Yet no match can take place without two men being alone in a private place, which we never are.

Sometimes the greatest pleasure is in the things we never have. Regret is an essential component of happiness.

Regret is an essential component of happiness? I'll ponder that for sure, just as I regret not having a match with you.
