Is he awkward or what’s going on here?

[Fishingforscales]

Long story short . Good mate . Lots of flirting, double entendres , comments and positive vibes . I am
Separated , him in new relationship of a year and one day he messages me to say he has to stop his behaviour . I agree based on his story . Didn’t know it was serious with his girlfriend . Then I realise it is ... We see one another again , a couple of months later .. he is awkward, won’t make eye contact and is diverting his attention to other friends in our group . Yet he still tries to engage me when we are on our own own ..starts messaging me personally outside of our group. I ignore. He keeps trying . What’s going on here please tell me?? Thanks

His girlfriend probably asked him to stop. He tried and failed?

A year isn't a new relationship. Stop flirting with a man who has a girlfriend and using you to bolster himself. You should both know better.

He's in a serious relationship that he wants to maintain, but wants the ego boost of a flirtation with someone he knows fancies him on the side.

Nothing new unfortunately.

I really am not to blame here .

I am
Most certainly not flirting

Put the sherry down love.

A year isn’t new. Stop flirting with coupled up men and find your own.

What’s going on here is that you’re loving the attention.

Well. You clearly are flirting with him which is why you didn’t give a shit about his relationship to the point where you didn’t think it was serious a year in.

He's stringing you along.
And, in the morning, you pull up your big self esteem pants and tell him straight- i am not your text bit of sleeze on the side.

But only if you want to, that is.

Agreed with PP’s, he’s using you as an ego boost. He has a partner, not just a new girlfriend he’s casually seeing. He’s obviously a bit of a dick hence messaging you. Probably fancies you a bit, thinks of himself as a bit of a stud. Yawn.

I didn’t give a shit is right ! I still
Don’t ! Of course I didn’t think it was serious if he was texting g that shit to me! He told
Me so much about her , all the intimate details and her history . Of course I didn’t
Think it was serious . Who the hell
Does that in a serious relationship?? I thought it was a light and relaxed casual
Relationship . Now I think it was a lot more serious than he led me
To believe . He must have wanted an ego boost? As for wanting
An ego boost for Myself, you are wrong

I think that’s two lol

Yes! Is that ok with you?

This is fabulous. I think you need to sober up before posting again OP!

Good! Glad I’m entertaining you! I’m on. Four different and unrelated threads here . I’d imagine that you need to get a life 😀

Hi. I don’t drink alcohol.

Says the woman who’s spending her Friday night fishing for posters to tell her that it’s really her that her friend loves, and not that imposter girlfriend at all. Because that’s what you want really isn’t it? Either that or you’re just very naive, because your friends behaviour isn’t remotely hard to read.

This is why I posted .. because I didn’t and don’t understand it . Gosh you lot are nasty on here 😥

He probably just really loves you and this woman doesn’t understand him like you do. She’s just so possessive and high maintenance. I mean your clearly just meant to be and if you hold out for another few years and pine hard enough you will find each other. Then there will be magic and starlight.
Your best bet it to get drunk and text him how you feel. Then he knows you really love him and he will fall into your arms.

i think his behaviour around people tells he doesnt want other people to notice anything.
but when you are alone with him he is doing what he wants.
he is trouble for you. please find a new unattached man, dont waste your time and energy for him. he is a lier.
