This guy rejected me, I move on. A year later, he starts to flirt with me even though he knows I have a boyfriend? What is going on with him?

I liked this guy and apparently he liked me back at some point. We never actually spoke about it, but his friend kept coming to ask me more questions about myself. He ended up not liking me according to his friend, but his friend told me that the guy would be interested in hooking up with me. I, of course, said no. He started avoiding me and he moved on to my friend. He would flirt with her in class and started pursuing her and I just ignored it and began to move on myself.

A year later, I have a boyfriend. A couple of months later, the other guy has started asking me a lot of questions about my relationship with my boyfriend. He'll ask what I see in my boyfriend. Even his friends dig for more info everytime they speak to me concerning my relationship. I started telling them it's none of their business.

I've caught him glaring at my boyfriend a few times followed by him interjecting himself (with a friend of his) into our conversations.
He's become touchy with me, even placing his hand on my knee when we went to a group dinner with our peers. I do shy away and shimmy his hand off when he does this.

So my question is if he would delegate me to only being good enough to hook up with and not to date, why is he always flirting with me? Is he just trying to see how far he can get?

Also, his friends have become increasingly rude towards me even though they still pry for more info from me concerning my relationship. I don't know why they are like this. They are the ones that told me he doesn't like me at all and just wants to hook up.

Remove the guy and his so-called friends out of your life. You don't have to engage with him anymore. What you have to understand is less to do with the fact that he rejected you and look at his character. Just thank God he rejected you because look what you could have dated? You already with somebody else, that's where your focus should be in them. Not concerned about him coming to the present of your life simply because he doesn't want to stay in your past. If you choose to entertain it is just going to get worse Penny if you say you moved on, then move on already. Don't say you moved on but you still engage with this guy who obviously only cares about just getting in your pants anyway because he has no other option

Yeah, you're 100% correct. We're in a small boarding school so it's a bit harder to cut them out completely but I'll try to.

You can cut the amount. You just got to acknowledge the fact that his existence is not going to matter to you. The more you try to think about someone like him even if they are in front of you, the harder it is going to be for you to let it go. It requires practice.
