What would you make of it if a person you'd just started seeing posted a link to this on facebook and underneath written 'I know the feeling?'

Has he recently got out of a relationship?

MalcolmTuckersMum · 22/06/2013 23:55

It's the Luminites singing 'To love somebody.' No he hasn't been in a relationship recently.

a modern cover of 'to love somebody' by the BeeGees

I'd assume it was about me(you) then and tbh I'd be a bit creeped out if you've only just started seeing each other

That's what I thought.

Well - don't I feel an idiot. He posted something today calling someone a c**t (don't like that word) and in the comments it transpired that he was referring to a girl who had let him on and crushed him. I texted him to see what was up (v casually) and it turns out he had feelings for a girl, who told him nothing would ever happen, but she'd also lied to people saying they'd slept together. And he still wants to meet me next weekend Confused. So she's obviously who the song was about.

I shouldn't even think about seeing him again, should I?

I don't think you're the idiot. He sounds awful!

PamDooveOrangeJoof · 23/06/2013 20:22

No. There were so many things about your post that rang alarms I wouldn't know where to start. Lucky escape.

That kind of language used about a woman is a big red flag anyway I think.

OP posts:
PamDooveOrangeJoof · 23/06/2013 20:25

Indeed. Onwards and upwards!

RiotsNotDiets · 23/06/2013 20:25

Urgh what a pig, agree it is a lucky escape!

He's been texting me all week - everyday - so I'm v confused!

OP posts:
PamDooveOrangeJoof · 23/06/2013 20:31

Why are you confused? You know what you have to do.

PamDooveOrangeJoof · 23/06/2013 20:33

I'm sure he has been texting you everyday. He's been ditched by the woman he was trying to get with, whilst still seeing you!

It's a bit humiliating really. It's only early days - so why did he bother with me at all? He did all the running too!

OP posts:
PamDooveOrangeJoof · 23/06/2013 21:04

As a back up? Sorry to be blunt but he has declared his feelings about this other woman to all and sundry on Facebook - which is odd in itself - whilst chasing you at the same time. Only to call declare her a c**t, when it wasn't reciprocated.

This tells you all you need to know about him. Don't be the fall back for this dick head.

PamDooveOrangeJoof · 23/06/2013 21:05

If she had accepted his advances, he would have dropped you like you were hot.
