I have a guy friend who is a bit overly invested in my dating life. I am a single woman.
If he's not asking me when I'm getting a man or 'where's your man at", he always teases me about guys that he KNOWS I'm not into.
He would say things like "You and Josh would make a cute couple" knowing very well that I don't like Josh.
Today I told him that I went to the gym and his response was "Wow, you go to the gym? Ben better watch out!"
And for me it's like... but I don't like Ben... what does he have anything to do with anything?
He does this very consistently and with different guys. At first I thought he was trying to play cupid but he seems to do it consistently. And he always wants to find out about the guys in my life. What is up with this behaviour?

It sounds to me like he is attracted to you, but he is a nice guy, so he is incapable of being direct, but instead does this creepy routine. It's either that or he's gay and just enjoys juicy gossip and playing Cupid.
What you describe reminds me so much of my colleague who I am pretty sure is gay and seems to be into me. He does so many creepy things. The other day I left early because I could catch an earlier bus. So the next day he comes up to me and asks whether I had a new partner. And I'm like "No. . . Why?", and he's like "Well you were in such a rush the other day that I presumed you were running home to your new partner". It's so weird, because I never encourage this stuff and he keeps doing it. He keeps offering me lifts after work and has on several occasions talked about penises and asses when it was completely inappropriate to do so. He finds excuses to touch me as well.
Sorry, guess I needed to get that off my chest.
That is a bit weird... I think your colleague could be sexually attracted to you..
I think so too. I feel compassion for him, wish he could just leave the closet he seems to be in and hit on me directly. Then I would tell him thanks, but I don't swing that way.
Let's be practical. I think it's quite indicative that he likes you (even if a bit) for sure. He teases you to be sure for himself also it's a very common gesture among the boys.
So, it's high time that you give a think about him and good luck :)
really? that's weird... by pushing me towards other guys? lol
You can never tell, it's a very popular gesture (read as tactics) to approach their crush.

But he's not really. He knows you aren't interested in those guys, so it's safe for him to joke around about it. Very odd tactic if he is in fact interested. Not something I would ever use... Does he have any experience with relationships?
Sounds like he is just messing you, which of course sends you into a tailspin. It's just him thinking he's being funny, when he's actually a simple minded dope.
