Was I dating a crazy guy?

Last summer, I started seeing this guy ( let's call him Luke). He was too weird for my taste... 35 ( I'm 28), in debt, recovering addict, cheap ( he let me pay for most of our dates) and lived with 3 roommates cause he couldn't afford to live on his own. Plus he always spoke about surviving his dad's suicide, which happened when he was 6 months old! Talk about exploiting a tragedy! After our 1st date, he invited to have dinner with him mom. Like an idiot, I accepted but felt so uncomfortable. I used to have low self-esteem, which explains why I kept seeing him.

After our 1st kiss, he posted about it on Facebook literally, minutes after it happened. I was mortified and tried to break up with him but he begged me for a 2nd chance. He told me he loved me after a week and called me his soul male. He's also one of those people who shares every detail of his personal life online ( from summaries of his therapy sessions to what he had for lunch). I finally came to my senses and broke things off. He was super melodramatic about it. I sought therapy to work on my self-esteem issues. I wanted to love myself enough to stop dating losers. I eventually reconnected with Luke. He wanted us to be just friends but after one dinner, he went back to calling me his soul mate. I broke it off again and told him he's not the one for me. I began dating this really nice guy, Brad, I had met while volunteering. He's a nice doctor and treats me like a queen. I wanted to take things slow and he agreed. When Luke found out, he went as far as messaging Brad on Facebook to tell him there's no bad blood ( he doesn't even know him) and to take care of me. WTF??? Fast-forward 6 months and things are getting serious with Brad and I, I'm going to therapy and getting more confident everyday and really embarrassed I dated Luke. I accidentally ran into Luke last week and I was polite and cordial. Of course, he posted about it on Facebook ( something about seeing me on the way to his shrink and how karma worked). Because we have friends in common, I said nothing but also because I find him very petty and annoying but I can't stop feeling embarrassed that I actually dated him. Some of my girlfriends say I was too hard on him and I broke his heart and unlike what I think, he wasn't mentally unstable!

If your question is whether you were dating a crazy guy, yes, from what you say you were.

I would stop reading what he posts on FB and ignore him, in general.
