What's he playing at?

Because he is immature and doesn't know what he wants.

Ask yourself this -

Do you really want to be with someone who would be talking to you while hanging with someone else? How can you trust someone who could do that? If he got with you, you'd have to always wonder if he was going behind your back... he is playing games with your head, trying to assure he has something steady going on with you, while trying to get something going on with someone else.

It's called being a "playah", and such men have nothing but contempt, even hatred, for women. They think women are stupid and weak, and find it funny when they cheat around on them.

They never have remorse, nor do they think what they are doing is wrong.

Don't be no fool girl, and don't allow yourself to be played.

Leave him alone--he is showing you all kinds of red flags that he is nothing but a liar, manipulator.

If you decide to stay with him because you "love him", then you will be to blame for your inevitable heartbreak.
