Oooh, sneaky men

You really have to be careful, don't you?!

I've had someone come onto me quite strongly, luckily I bopped him away yesterday when he tried to hold my hand, after that he mentioned a girlfriend who he'd apparently split up with.

He tried to get in contact with me today then went missing.

It does amuse me a bit and it's definitely not just the domain of men...but what a load of rubbish!! He obviously is with his girlfriend!

Other than that he's a nice person so I'll stay in contact - it was never that way for me anyway - but why on earth do they think they can get away with that? Confused

He does have a girlfriend - OK so I posted this on Thurs night, we went out Fri night and I had expressed intent for him to state outright that he has a girlfriend as I don't like anyone trying to flirt with me when they have a partner so dressed a bit more formally to create distance, then waited for a lull in the conversation then asked about her and he was upfront.

No harm done really, we get on well in a chatting sense and he said he thought he was phoning too much so deleted my number. So no more calls Grin.

Still don't get why people do this, if they're having relationship difficulties they should work on it or split up.

Simply because they can.

@AprilGal I still don't get it - his first responsibility is towards his girlfriend and for all he knew I could have developed feelings towards him.

Like I said no harm done really, my antennae were wriggling a little on Thurs so I was determined to get him to state it on Friday and I did.

Possible Player springs to mind, feeding his ego, low self esteem who knows?

The good thing is your radar was up and you spotted him a mile off! Chances are he is not exclusive with his girlfriend, and she is probably blissfully unaware.

He will catch himself out eventually if he is a Player he would not have given a second thought as to whether you had developed any feelings towards him, it's the thrill of the chase for these chaps.
