Do you need confirmation, or are you pretending not to know the answer? On a related note; did you also tell him you’re not interested in him? Or just that you have a bf? Bc you know those are two different pieces of information, right?

Smooth lol. He probably thinks he’s in swooping position and is waiting for ur bf to piss you off or go out of town or something

He has a ton of girls that like him, why would he wait 5 months for a girl with a bf instead getting with someone already single? Is it an ego thing?

How’d you know he has a ton who like him? He say so? Don’t take that at face value lol Even if he does, theres a HUGE gap between a girl who “likes you” in theory and who you’ll ever actually get with. The fact that ur effectively a real human he seems to regularly talk to and interact with would put you ahead of 100 flaky tinder randos. Plus women ghost often and unpredictably so best practice is to always keep lots of lines in the water. Or, you may really be his favorite. Are you into him?

No he’s never mentioned other girls I just personally know many pretty girls that have a crush on him. He’s cute but I really love my bf and I don’t think it would eventually work with me and this guy bc we have different personal values

Ah, ok. So he doesn’t know about those other girls who have a crush on him; Even if he did, they might as well not exist bc those crushes can and generally will evaporate the second they make contact with reality. But yours hasn’t. And you will for sure be fucking this guy before I have time to finish laughing at the implication of “different personal values” being a dealbreaker in this kind of thing. It’s just not lol. It never is. And they probably aren’t as different as you’d like to think.

Well he can probably tell that some of them like him, and what do you mean make contact with reality?

Probably based on what? With all respect, do you have a reason to think that beyond the common mass delusion that men are psychic? (We are not; that’s a conspiracy spread among women to create confusion. Every man knows men are not psychic) And I mean that as soon as a woman considers acting on her feelings or in any way interacts with a guy she likes, those feelings often evaporate. Not every time, but often enough that a man cant treat a woman’s supposed interest in him as reliable info. You

heard the phrase “a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush”? Well it’s kinda like that. But in this case it’s more like: a girl in your bed is worth a thousand tinder matches or grapevine rumors that they supposedly liked you at any given moment. It’s just something that changes too often to be valuable info until you have a more tangible and real connection built.
