So I've been talking to this younger guy (He's 21 and I'm 25) for almost 8 months and we're not in an official relationship, but we spend a lot of time together via phone, hanging out, etc. He is basically the main guy in my life who I feel attracted to and have a serious vibe with and I'm pretty sure he feels the same way. From the beginning, we've always had a push pull relationship where we argue and tease one another. However, recently he has been pushing my buttons by constantly putting me down and then complimenting me right after when I fight back. It's almost like he's seeing how far he can push me away to bring me right back to where I was. I'm at the point where I'm fed up of the mind games, but I feel like there's something I'm missing, that I can possibly fix. Is he possibly intimidated that I'm older and more accomplished, or possibly something else? If more info is needed I'd be happy to give it.

Thanks.

Talk to him about this and see what he says. He could just be immature or maybe he thinks you're cool with it so he'll just keep doing it. If it bothers you, let him know.he could be in the dark about this.

he might be operating under the assumption that women like to be put down, and then complemented afterwords. the idea behind this is to develop the boundaries between joking and sincerity, and thus, develop trust.

it's a common misconception that sons learn from their dads. however, the sons do not take into thought the fact that the dad has had a long relationship with the mother, and therefore knows her boundaries and can communicate with her in trust.

the line between joking, and flirting gets blurred in this way.
