Why Would a Guy Do This? Was It Just a Coincidence or Was He Trying to Make Me Jealous? 10pts?

[Jae]

A month ago I got a random facebook message from a guy I met in college. We exchanged numbers over fb and have been texting on and off ever since. (He even texted me once asking if I wanted to go to dinner with him, but I was too busy unfortunately since I own a small business.) When I see him randomly we’ll hug, and he’ll compliment my clothes and jewelry.

HOWEVER, for the past two weeks he’s been texting me first and when I’d respond he wouldn’t answer me. Then he’d text me many days later apologizing and claiming he was “feeling antisocial/tired/working, etc. But once when I checked his twitter, I saw that he had made plans to chat with a girl online after work. He texted me early the next morning apologizing about how he was SO tired after work, and went to bed right away, which wasn’t true.

He ignored my last text to him for 7 days (when he texted *me* first) BUT THEN, he texted me on Christmas morning at 8:00am apologizing for his late replies, claiming it was because of work/feeling anti-social. He wished me a merry Christmas, and I texted him back hours later and wished him a good one as well. On the 27th he texted me saying that we "had to discuss DJango. We HAVE to." Since both happened to see it on Christmas - separately. I chose to ignore his text for the 1st time ever. The next day he made a "Birthday Event" on Facebook, and invited me.
I didn't respond to it yet and don't plan to go. Today on my facebook I posted a picture of the late Christmas gift I received from a friend (female) in Alaska today - we been talking online for months. I wrote in the caption"from Alaska with love." Checked his Twitter account and saw that he uploaded a screenshot of himself and a girl he's apparently been skyping online lately. In the caption he wrote "After a wonderful skype session. #lovealwaysloser." (It was posted an hour after my facebook photo) Is this a coincidence or payback for my facebook photo to make me jealous? Or what?

If he liked me and misinterpreted the gift in the photo as being from a long distance boyfriend, and was jealous of it why didn't he show more interest in me before?

he thought the gift u posted was from another guy. so he posted a pic wit a girl and the picture might be old. he likes u but he doesnt think u like him bc u are always busy. he thinks youre blowing him off even though u really might be busy.. he thinks he likes u more than u like him.

Why don't you ask him?

the world is complicated enough that you don;t need to check up on a person;s Twitter account to know if they are lying. He has no obligation to be completely truthful with you - it is casual, and when he "blows you off" gently with a "I went right to bed," he is avoiding confrontation.

Apparently he has made a few advances, which you turned down for one reason or another. he is still making contact - but maybe he doesn't want another rejection from you.

Make it happen; set something up where you get together next time, and don;t casually blow him off.

Or give it off, since you already lost your chance if you do nothing.

it does seem like he is trying to make you jealous. although not replying to your text messages and yet being on twitter all day proves otherwise... but from a girl's point of view, what you're doing is right; don't be too available for him, because if he REALLY likes you, he'll find ways to have your attention. he's the guy, make him do the work.

Obviously he is no good for you. If you already see that he is chatting with other girls and skyping then he isn't as interested as you thought he was. Maybe he was being spiteful with the picture, but you shouldn't feel bad because it sounds like you can do a lot better than him. I say continue ignoring him until he asks what's up. He has some major insecurity issues if he is doing this to you because if he was secure he would be talking to you and only you. Instead he feels the need to get love from many girls which isn't right at all. He may be trying to make you jealous or maybe he's just doing to to be an ass. I'm sorry that happened

Best wishes!

Well I could say this type of guys just like girls of their type. He likes you, but temporary. If you don't give him attention, he could find someone else.

You may ask yourself, is this type of guy you like?
How much time and attention you could offer him?

If you feel that you like him and there is a way to build relationships. Willing to spend most of your time with him all your life. Go ahead and try to build a relationship.

If you feel that there is a like, but you could miss. It will be difficult to give most of your time to him with all your life. It is better to leave this relationship than to start.

The current situation is a very good example. Once you were on Twitter and found that he had his time with another girl, you feel hurt. What happens, if you really start a relationship with him?

Your life will be very miserable, because 1st you have to change your time schedule to suit him. 2nd if you found out there is another woman during his spare time, is either both of you have a good query or break-off.

Have best consideration first before starting. All the best.
