Is he trying to make me jealous?

Started seeing someone and he constantly talks about women hitting on him.
How women always want him.
He can never answer a question a simple way.
Today he said he was driving his dad to Edinburgh to see his brother and coming home.
He uploaded a pic to snapchat of a hotel room
I replied "where have you ended up ha ha"
He replied "last min hotel job ha ha"
I replied "that's very random,did you get your dad to Edinburgh"
He replied "yeah he is there"
I replied "why have you got a hotel ? "
He replied "fancied a nice few drinks"
Basically I wanted to know where he was and maybe who he was and it was like he wasn't telling me just to make me worry etc
I don't think I'm paranoid am I ?
Was he doing that on purpose?

I used to date a guy who frequently used to say other women fancied him. Once, we walked over a pedestrian crossing while a car waited and he said to me that the woman in the car winked at him haha. I used to just change the subject when he did it because I refused to react. I binned him for other reasons but now look back and realise how sad this was.

Bin him! This sounds so frustrating and you've hit the nail on the head, he wants you to worry what he is up to, he wants to make you jelous. It's really immature and not what you want from something long term.

It's so frustrating and clear as day what he is trying to do.
I don't know if I can be bothered.
If this was the long term situation I would get fed up.
I can feel myself now getting slightly turned off.
It's a shame because we get on so well and I like him a lot.
He spoils himself with this.

He doesn't sound very impressive. I can't believe he was two hours late and en told you off for asking questions!

Next time he starts talking about all these women who can't resist him tell him it's strange, but you don't think you're one of them and you want to break up.

Well stop feeding the troll @redresred !
Reverse Psychology, act uninterested, unbothered. You will soon see him change wondering why your not jealous any more.

True or you could play him at his own game and see how he likes it. Just dont contact him for 2 days and when u finally do say "sorry been busy"

Yes post some pics of you out with friends !

I was starting to question if I was just being paranoid wondering if it was all in my head about him
