I started talking to a guy 2 months ago. We spoke on and off and on social media I posted pics of my nephew. He thought I had a child so he became distant and started dating other women. Recently he explained how he thought I had a child. Which led to him seeing someone else. So I clarified that it wasn't mine. He said he came back because he always thinks about me all the time. How should I deal with this?
I'm not sure I see a red flag here other than he made an assumption about a child. I think it requires some real open communication with him about two things: 1) why the assumption -- how hard would it have been to have asked you "who's the kid?"; and 2) does he have an issue with kids.
But certainly worth a conversation with him, particularly if he was enjoyable to begin with.

I would ignore him. If he’s quick to jump to conclusions instead of asking questions, he doesn’t seem like a valuable guy to date. Lacks communication and makes excuses. He showed you why he’s single.
I wouldn’t take him on as a partner. Who knows what else he’ll assume and how he’ll react on his assumptions. Communication is key but he sabotaged it now. His loss…. Move along girl..
