Started seeing him in may.
At the time there was another girl interested in him (one of his friends girlfriends friend)
Anyway due to me being on holiday for two weeks I haven't seen him for two weeks.
Assuming he would want to see me this weekend.
He text me saying he might be going to the races on Saturday and the girl who fancies him will be there.
I'm mad.
I know we aren't official but surely if he liked me enough he would rather see me?
Not put himself in a position with someone who clearly likes him.

He’s a pathetic lose

Even giving him the benefit of the doubt and he's just insecure and tends to shoot himself on the foot, he clearly needs to prop up his self esteem by lowering yours. It's the stuff that abuse is made off.
Avoid like the plague.

Lweji · 16/07/2019 08:35

Made of.

QueenOfTheCroneAge · 16/07/2019 08:36

Please walk away from this one. He's enjoying messing with your self esteem. Why would you let a childish little man do this to you? As @newmomof1 says;

"It wouldn't matter if you were the most beautiful, fittest, richest girl in the world"

He'd still do this to feed his own ego.

A new boyfriend is supposed to make you feel good about yourself. This guy doesn’t - deliberately.
It would be a no from me.

PlinkPlink · 16/07/2019 08:41

Yeah seriously... he's a parasite - he'll suck all of your self esteem away so he can boost his ego. That's literally what he's doing.

Get rid!!!

You will be left completely broken if he carries on.

Anyone who does this at the beginning of a relationship, at 31 years of age, is a horrible person. Find someone who actually shows you they like you and care... all the time.

pinkyredrose · 16/07/2019 08:42

He's making you unhappy and making you question yourself. He sounds v immature and insecure, neither of which are attractive traits in a 31yr old.

You can do a lot better.

reddysteadygo · 16/07/2019 08:43

Do you think he realises he is making me jealous?
Surely he must,nobody could be that obvious surely.

Yes, I think he's trying to make you jealous on purpose because he likes the feeling. He sounds a little pathetic to be honest.

Lweji · 16/07/2019 08:46

A comment he made a while ago saying it's fun at the beginning when they jealous.

That should answer your question about him doing it on purpose or not.
You're a toy to him.
He's not looking for a relationship. He wants an ego boost.

GhostRidersInDisguise · 16/07/2019 08:49

Of course he knows he's doing it. It's part of who and what he is. There's a reason he's single. This is that reason. He's a total headfuck.

Costacoffeeplease · 16/07/2019 08:49

Are you reading the replies? Dump him!

Aussiebean · 16/07/2019 08:51

He is certainly keeping you on your toes and eager to please.

NameChangeNugget · 16/07/2019 08:52

Think there are a couple of things going on here.

Firstly, sounds like he’s being immature, trying to play you against the other girl and making you jealous.

Secondly, with all due respect, if I was offered a day at the races with friends I’d go under his circumstances. He’s got every right to spend time with friends, they are so important and probably more so at this stage than seeing someone, he’s been with for 5 minutes.

I think had he not mentioned the girl going, there wouldn’t have been an issue at all. However, how would you have reacted, if you found out she’d gone and he’d not told you??

Scorpiovenus · 16/07/2019 08:57

Never compete

If a man is already semi interested in another woman then don't even bother trust me. Find someone who isn't going to par you off cos you went away for 2 weeks.

hes a fool he will probably end up with none :)

reddysteadygo · 16/07/2019 08:58

I'm actually shocked that so many think to ditch (well not shocked,just normally on these posts there's mixed answers )
Do you not even think he likes me?

OP posts:
newmomof1 · 16/07/2019 08:59

Does it matter if he likes you? Are you willing to put up with his shit?

reddysteadygo · 16/07/2019 09:00

My friend said maybe he's doing this to gauge how into him you actually are.
I'm not sure I agree with that.

OP posts:
reddysteadygo · 16/07/2019 09:00

@newmomof1 I couldn't stand being jealous all the time no.
It's not fun for anyone and it's gonna turn me batty

hellsbellsmelons · 16/07/2019 09:03

He's a twat.
Just dump is loser arse.
THE HILLS ARE THAT WAY >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

newmomof1 · 16/07/2019 09:03

There's your answer.
You want us to tell you he's so into you and is telling you about the other women to make you realise how trustworthy he is, but that's just not the case unfortunately.

He wants you to be jealous - he's openly admitted it. You're worth so much more.

theunrivalledjoysofparenting · 16/07/2019 09:04

He's 31?? He sounds about 14.

He's making you jealous on purpose because it makes him feel like the big I Am. I'd dump him. Susan or whoever is welcome to him.

Relaionships should not be this hard. Really they shouldn't. You're meant to be in the honeymoon period, not 'feeling jealous and insecure all the time'.
