I've talked about this before, you can read my thread: "ex with abandonment issues". We have been friends for 4 months, he confessed his love. We started dating. One month later, he just freaked out and said that he wasn't ready and wants to be just friends. I respected his wishes and backed off. However, he just started to flirt and say that he loves me. I warned him about it and decided that some boundries must drawn. He still did that anyway. He asked me many times if I hated him and would leave him, etc. He had some issues regarding his friends because they all left and don't want to talk to him unless they need something. College started, and the way he treated me just shoked me. He spent a lot of time with everyone except me, and kept repeating how he "missed" his friends. I was thinking what exactly is he trying to prove? He kept ignoring me; so he just got the same treatment. Just one day later, he showered me with attention. I decided that I was done with this game and I just wanted to know what's going on. I confronted him. I told him that I wanted everything to be clear, and this situation was getting ridiculous. The conversation went like this:
- What am I exactly to you? = A very very close person. - And? = um...you're my friend, but friends are degrees. You're veeery close. - I don't care about degrees, let me rephrase it. Do you have feelings for me? = Yes, but what type of feelings? - Obviously, I mean romantic feelings cause I know you'll just say yes and later claim you meant "friends" feelings. = No - Then on what basis did you tell me that you loved countless times?! = I didn't. - Open our chat then and let's see. How about last tuesday? (He didn't) = I do this with all of my friends. - I don't care. I warned you. And you didn't even respect me. = It's just my personality. - You can change that out of respect. = What brought this up all of a sudden? What did I do that reminded you? - You're not honest. Even with yourself you're not honest. And you're leaving me no choice but to leave. When it comes to relationships, it's either in or out. I'm not staying in the maybe box. During the whole conversation he just tried to joke and laugh. He was kind of excited, until I mentioned leaving. After that, He accompanied me to my uber and asked if I was crazy, and why did bring this up. After I left, I saw him walking down some street and he looked very upset. I thought that he would just back off to give me some space. But he just texted me the momemt he arrived home. I don't get him, I just want an explanation to all of this, and to know if I had made the right choice by limitting my contact with him. |

You know him well now.
If you stay with him, he is going to be the same person. He is not going to change his personality out of respect. What you have seen from him so far is what you are likely to continue to see. Is that what you want? If not, then block him; cut all contact. |

I wish I could, but we'll have to interact with each other eventually; so I'm keeping it all business-like.

Sounds like he wants to have his cake and eat it too. He is playing games, making like he doesn't know what you're talking about. You definitely did the right thing by distancing yourself, IMHO.
People in a committed relationship treat each other a certain way. He can't have the security of you sitting on the shelf for when he wants you, while he treats you like you're one of his pals. Make yourself a lot less available to him. |

Tbh, I think the main reason behind this is to protect himself. I knew his ex and he didn't do that to her nor to the girl before her. He just did this to me and it happens that I remind him of his first love and heartbreak because according to him we're so similar.
But I still am not having any of this until he mans up and comes clean. |

He sounds immature. If a person cannot be upfront with their feelings and open and honest about being scared of getting hurt and instead play childish games, what’s the point?

I think you should stay away from him as much as you can...

He is a player. I’d stop over analyzing how and why he broke up with you and why is playing with you. I really think if the guy dates you for few months and then breaks up, it doesn’t matter why and it’s better to let him go. I wouldn’t continue asking him if he has feelings for you or why he is ignoring you. Just be done with him. He is a player and clearly enjoys that you continue showing your interest in him. Typical player. It’s possible he didnt treat his exes this way because they likely didnt continue pursuing him. Let him go. You deserve better than this

I agree. If you want a serious relationship, this is not the guy for you. Hope you can keep your distance.

People say all sorts of rubbish to excuse their behavior.
"Its just your so like this person." Except they have known you for years and your clearly NOT that person. He is dicking about, basically feeding his emotional battery on you when he is feeling a bit flat. Pumps up his ego, so he is good to Move into the next person. Then when they have had enough he is back to you. Their is probably A really good reason all his friends ditch on him. He is the common denominator here. Good luck.

It doesn't matter what he did in the past. The only thing that matters is how bad he is treating you. Stop wasting your time on this crap & drama or at least be honest with yourself about what you are getting out if this.
