Split up with ex last year. He has been a real shit but we're getting to a point where we can deal with each other civilly for sake of DC.
So, I dipped my toe in the dating pool by having a fling with a friend. He seemed really into me but is blowing hot and cold. One minute he wants me, next minute he's freaked out as we had a good time and he sees that as a threat to his single life!
He's in his mid-40's, never been married, a couple of noteworthy relationships but these women still really pull his strings despite them not wanting him in any physical sense.
So I realise he's a nightmare despite being an amazing shag and I totally fancy him. He says all the right things and I believed he was into me too. But the last time I stayed over, at his request, spent the day with him, at his request - he has just totally flipped out!
Question is, how do I feckin' forget about him? He's pointedly ignoring me despite me having a fun time getting emergency contraception last week. For all he knows I could be up the duff and I'm just seeing posts all over FB of him and his bloody ex! In fact, I'd go as far as to say it's deliberate. He's clearly in need of doing this to wind me up/put me off. He did say he once got another woman to pretend to be his girlfriend to get rid of someone! How mature! I did realise when he was telling me some of this stuff I was with a bit of a nightmare - the lust got in the way
I want and need to draw a line quick because he's clearly a big kid, but I feel sick every time I see a post or think of him. For a couple of weeks there, I thought I was on to a winner. He's been a mate for a long time but I didn't really know much about his past relationship history until I got involved. He knows a lot of my friends and we do socialise in the same circles and places.
I feel a right twat for being bothered.
What works quick to move on from such a pain in the arse?
